I recently adopted a 10 year old cat(she's my first cat!) near the beginning of October. I am a student at college and I am going home for Christmas break(which will be about a month). It's a 2-hour drive and I haven't taken Cally on anything longer than 5 minutes to the vet. I keep her in her carrier on the way because the vet is about 5 doors down from my apartment and she cries the entire way there. She's easily stressed out...I think she's still traumatized from being transported around by Petsmart. But on the way home for Christmas, I'm letting her out of her carrier...but I'm still nervous that she won't handle the drive well. Does anyone have a similar experience?
