travelling with cats

[Guest guest]

Hi again Susy;

 

While we are talking about transporting your cats, I thought I would add

a bit more about that. I think the best thing is to put them in a cat kennel

container for the trip, either together or separately depending on how they feel

about each other. My experience with traveling with cats is that they settle

faster when they cannot move around much. If they have the freedom of the whole

car, they usually try to investigate every square inch of it looking for an

escape route once the car starts to move. They usually settle only once they

have convinced themselves they are stuck for the duration, therefore a smaller

space is easier on everyone! Most cats don't much like car rides at first, so

make sure the container is tightly fastened as they usually try to claw their

way out if they can. For that reason, a cardboard box is insufficient, they

would be out in seconds. For safety reasons alone, their's and your's, they

need to be secured to prevent them from distracting you or getting in the way.

Kennels can be seat belted into the seat which is even better.

And, I understand that it is necessary to keep cats IN the house for a

minimum of 2 weeks after a move to prevent them from trying to return home.

Has anyone ever used Rescue Remedy on their cat? If so, how did you

administer it & how much did you give? What kind of effect did it have

on

your cat? I'm going to be moving from TX to NY next week & my 2 cats

(ages 3

& 13) are driving up with me, I'm thinking about giving them some Rescue

Remedy but I haven't decided yet. Any " testimonies " would be greatly

appreciated
