As the title says, I'm bringing Posh home from the shelter on wednesday. (she is introduced in the cat health forum)
We're doing a 12hour drive straight to Colorado.
I have a soft carrier (think average carry on luggage) with a fleece blanket folded in it for her.
I do not have and cannot get something big enough to fit a litter box in.
She will have eaten that morning. I'm worried about offering her food and water during the trip like I normally would, since she won't have a litter box.
My old cat would walk on a harness and do her business outside, but that's out of the question with Posh, and freezing temperatures.
Should I have a small litterbox loose in the car? Feed, don't feed? I think Posh will be too worried to use a box if we had one anyways. I'm not even sure if she'll be calm enough to drink/eat.
I am going to Petco to get some PetEase just to keep her calm and relaxed during the trip.
