Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2007Out of touch for a few days...
This afternoon is my final day at my current employer, and tomorrow is our last full day at our current residence. We're going to load up the truck this afternoon and tomorrow (Saturday), then bright and early Sunday morning we're loading ourselves and the kitties into the van and the truck and leaving California! We'll be out of touch for a few days. I don't know if we'll have WiFi access in our motel rooms between CA and IA, so between now and then we'll sending blanket purrs for those who need them. With any luck, we'll find WiFi service in our en-route stops. We are tentatively planning on stopping in Cedar City, UT Sunday night, somewhere near Denver Monday night, in eastern Nebraska Tuesday night, then at our new home in Iowa by late Wednesday. Neither Nancy nor I have ever travelled any distance with 6 cats before, so purrs for our sanity would be appreciated. It will be easy on me - I'm driving the big truck, and Harri Roadcat will be my travel partner. Nancy, though, has to drive the van with the remaining 5 kitties. Yikes! Anyhow, in the days between now and our arrival in Iowa, everybody please be safe.

Heheh, back in the day when I had to drive any distance I used a CB radio that my brother had. Plugged into the cigarette lighter in the car and attached antenna via a magnet on the roof of the car. Nope, I didn't have a Big Rig nor a Harri Roadcat! But I did get a trucker escort from Memphis to Nashville once to visit a friend from High School ;) Was a couple of guys who switched off doing long-haul driving. They told me when to slow down, when I could speed up, when to beware of road construction. That was 20+ years ago; truckers aren't nearly as polite on the roads these days. Have a good trip, Dan! Take it slow! There's ice where you're heading. Jill <snip> > Looks like we got us a CONVOY! Heheh, back in the day when I had to > drive any distance I used a CB radio that my brother had.

Hope Nancy will have the remaining 5 cats secured for her drive. I cannot imagine travelling any distance with Persia. She screams and cries the entire way to the vet and that's under 3 miles.

When Five (DSH tabby) is riding with us it's been either to TED in a carrier (3 miles) or Thunder Bay, Ontario in a wire crate (with bedding, litter pan & water bowl, and hand-fed kibble portioned to manage her weight during inactivity in the crate) (1400 miles) with occasional rest stops across 2-3 days. The only vocal complaining Five did on our T-Bay trips was when she was trying to use the small litter pan while we were driving (we brought along a full-size litter pan for use at the destination). She's a 10.5 lb cat and the pan had to be small to fit the crate we could fit in the back seat of the truck's extended cab while leaving room for her to be comfortable laying down. Mostly Five would sleep but frequently she would sit up and watch the scenery fly by her window. Here's to a safe trip for Dan & family!

I had to travel once with Topaz (RB), my sister's cat, and listen to her for a full 65 miles. The only reason Sid(RB) didn't join in was because he'd had a seizure on the way to the car and was sleeping it off. So I had to travel in a packed full car, one cat crying constantly and another cat sleeping like the dead, when I was almost certain that I'd killed at least one of my sister's cats. It was a memorable ride. Oh, Sid was fine by the time we got there, and lived for a few more happy years.

The bus ride to go to our summer island takes 3-4 hours and he complains all they way. Frank used to be the same. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

I cannot imagine driving across country with her let alone further than to the vet. Purrs for a safe trip to your new home.
