I'm (finally) moving house on Monday.
We are taking our cats both age 7 with us. Neither have been in a car since being 13 weeks old. They were feral kittens, and I tamed them.
One, who is the most loving cat, I have not managed to pick up EVER. We have had to have vet home visits for their jabs because she turns into a seething mass of muscle if we try to pick her up.
We are moving a 5 hour drive away.
We have a cat valium prescribed. But another vet told us this is bad because she might fight against it and be worse.
I am putting treats in their baskets but they seem to know the basket is bad and wont go near.
I am thinking of paying a vet to get them in the baskets. I don't even know if they would do this.
Also thinking of asking the Cats Protection lady to do it in exchange for a big donation.
All the usual 'wrap them in a towel just don't work with these two. I have always had cats, so I know that their behaviour is off the scale in terms of getting them in the baskets. The vet said one in particular is the most terrified she has ever seen.
