Remember that Feliway is for calming, so when it's time to travel, you might want to be sure that the crate is "Feliway'd."

Also, have you talked to your vet about a mild tranquilizer for the trip (for the cat)?

When I moved, it involved a 7-hour car ride with my car-phobic cat, and my vet prescribed a tranquilizer. It was so mild that the cat whined for 6 of the 7 hours, but she probably would have been screaming without it (those were the days before Feliway).

Been using Feliway very religiously as she also has marking problem.
I have both the spray & the plug-in.

The spray only seem to work for marking. I've used it when visiting a vet but she got extremely stressed out(as usual). My vet is mere 10 to 15 minutes car ride, therefore, I can not expect it to work for 12 hours plane ride(+ few hours connecting time). I've just purchased Rescue Remedy. Am going to use this for the next vet visit & see how she'd respond to it
