     lets post answers about moving cats -- my wife and I are moving from
     Albuquerque to New Jersey and have a cat that doesn't really like to
     travel.  We have a cat carrier and have used tranquilizers in the past
     (we call them trankys) but never for more than 1 day in a row. Are
     such medications dangerous if given over a period of several days?
     It seemed to us to help if we kept the cat away from the windows
     yet with a view of us.  Feeding is also something I do not know about,
     I can't really see any harm with not feeding it for a couple of days
     but a cat must have water so a litter box or rest stops are required.
     I also do not know about motel/hotel regulations about pets and would
     like to find out.
