How do I travel with Fluffy?
Question by comfortably numb: How do I travel with Fluffy?
I am going to be going away over the spring and summer and it will be necessary to take my 6 year old cat w/ me, the car ride will be about 4-5 hours. Should I keep him in a pet carrier, or let him just sit in the passenger seat? What about him eating and going to the bathroom, can he hold it that long if he is in a carrier? Any tips are very much appreciated!

Keep him in the carrier for your safety and his. Do not feed him before traveling. Keep a litter pan in the car and if you stop for lunch/dinner for more then 1/2 hr, then let him out to stretch, use the pan and give him a small meal or drink of water.
I show cats and they are fine travelling for 4-5 hrs to a show without eating. They eat when we get to the show.
