[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 47622, member: 1991"] I hope the vet isn't too far away. If he's close, then all three in one carrier should be OK. Bring a spare box or something, though, in case they get cranky with each other in close proximity. My parents moved to the NSW North Coast from Campbelltown, many years ago. That was a ten hour drive, back then. Using what the vet provided, they sedated the two cats and put them in the same carrier. The cats got 'high' and very irritable, yowling and fighting all the way. They had been best of friends, were never quite as close after that. I think it didn't help that they were excreting everywhere, disgusting each other even further. My parents weren't impressed either - the car took days to air out, after they arrived. Something I've since learned - cats and sedation don't always mix. You can get some weird reactions. Maybe it's a lot better these days, but for a long trip it's best to have a practice run first. A ten hour trip is a bad time to discover nasty side effects! Marg [/QUOTE]
