We are moving to West Virginia and taking our two cats in their carriers in the car. We have disposable litter boxes, food and water, as well as calming spray. We plan to stop at rest stops and let our cats out on harnesses and leashes. Any suggestions or advice?

We still miss him, but we hope to rescue another kitty. We can never replace the cats we have had, but there are other kitties that need homes. Still working on downloading a picture of him. Thanks for asking about me.-
No animal replaces another, true, but you are right about opening your heart and home to new joys and love. It has to be in your time, when you are ready. It’s lovely of you to give a happy life to more. Let us know when you adopt and we can all share in your fun!

Hi. Thanks for responding. Yes, maybe it was for the best that Sea Salt died at home with me comforting him. Sure did hurt to lose him, though, and it has been very rough on my younger daughter, who misses him terribly. Castiel has been a blessing to us, and especially to my husband, who is actually more of a dog person. I am attempting to download my pictures from our thumb drive, so hopefully I will have pictures soon!-

Our cat, Sea Salt, died in April. He died right in the room with me. I had just taken him to the vet, who told me of some concerning conditions Sea Salt had, but he (Sea Salt) got sick and died so quickly we didn’t even have time to get him to the vet again. :<

1. Your cats have the best names.
2. Do you think it was a kindness to Sea Salt that he didn’t have to suffer the ailments the vet identified? Of course it is shocking for you, and traumatic, but it sounds as if he didn’t linger and suffer.
I am truly sorry and sad for your parting. Castiel will bring you joy and love, not to replace Sea Salt, but to add to making new memories. We look forward to photos and stories. Please let us know how you are doing. Hugs-

@Cody – sorry for being late in responding. We just got a new computer and are in the process of downloading pictures to it. As soon as I can find one, I will send a picture. -

He is a gray tabby cat. He is named Castiel for a character in my older daughter’s favorite show, Supernatural. Castiel is an angel.-
I used to watch Supernatural! That’s a great name, and meaning.

I miss our cat, Sebastian. But we have been adopted by a new kitty, Castiel.
when we moved from NM to FL my BIL and SIL adopted our last cat from us – they live in Seattle – I got some calming meds from the vet for the airplane ride – IMHO I would think that the cats would be more comfortable just staying in the car … but none of my cats went outside, nor were they trained to walk on a leash. Best of luck!
