He needed to come out, have >new kitty litter and fresh food, Hi Nathan, I beg to differ. I take my cat Willy on a ten to twelve hours 750 miles (1200km) trip about six to ten times a year. I have done this for many, many years. During the first years he travelled in a purpose built de luxe box consisting of a combined sitting/bedroom and a separate toilet. He never used the toilet and as we needed the space for other items we just put him in a cat cage. Rather small, I have to admit. I thought he would hate to get into it, but that is not so. As soon as I get the cage out together with the other stuff for the trip, Willy tries to get into it. I used to put in food and water for the trip, but he never touched it, so now it is just an old sweater for him to cuddle up in. I give him one third Vetranquil tablet an hour before departure and this seems to be just right as he _always_ wakes up when I turn the last corner before arriving at our house. BTW there is a new cat anthology just out for those of you who read German 'Die kratz nicht' ISBN 3-499-22914-5. Willy is on page 132ff. Oh yes, I am related to the author.
