The first leg of the journey was 10 hours. Yes, frequent stops were made for kitty time. Watering, feeding treats, lots more whispering, and one and a half cleanings of stress poo from their new carriers (made in Italy). I have to stop here and explain. My fantasy was about to come to terms with reality. We had to order new cat carriers that had a profile that would fit under an airplane seat. (say what!)
Apparently the Italians have this all figured out. Originally Kathy came home from work the day after we (I will use "WE" when discussing Kathy's new position with the FDIC to avoid all the I said, she said, until finally WE said, let's do this) decided to take the plunge and said, without warning, "we will have to put Leo and Seville into new carriers that I have ordered (from Italy) so they will fit under our airplane seats"! (say what! again) WE then decided to make this a great driving adventure.
Seville didn't make it out of Longmeadow, Ma before using the designer water cup for a stress poo, yep, she got it all in there. My first thought was this could have been on an airplane.
We finally got them ferberized somewhere between Schenectady and Rome NY.
Oh yes, the vet supplied us with a mild stress reducing concoction to administer orally which I aimed for the meowing mouth and missed. Note to self; administer before putting in (Italian) carrier.
