Any suggestions on ways to outfit/configure an SUV for a long roadtrip with two cats?
Initially, I was thinking of purchasing a large wire mesh dog crate and loading both of the "happy travelers" in it. I'd pull one (or both) of the rear seats to make room for the crate.
Another thought was to pull both rear seats and just let the cats loose to make themselves "comfortable". This configuration would allow plenty of room for their favorite beds, blankets, boxes, etc. in the back. Since, the back of my SUV (Honda Element) is accessible without opening any doors - I could then transfer the cats to their carriers or attach a leash during stops or carrying them into a motel.
