sorry Erin I can`t really offer you any more advice than what has already been given, I do hope that everything goes as stress free for him as possible

Re: Jerry's long journey


Hugs for Jerry. You are bound to be worried about him Erin, but there is some very good advise above from people who have experienced travelling cats, so I'm sure he will be OK. He's going to Emma's when he gets to Aberdeen? He'll be fine, although I expect he'll be delighted to see you when you get up there.

Does he have a passport???

Oh stop your fussing you neurotic woman
Talk to your vet about the sedation and see what they advise.
He will be absolutely fine when he gets here, have asked Emma to just keep him in your room for the first day or so, to allow him to calm down and get his scent in there. We will just take each day as it comes and allow him to come to terms with the move etc.
I'll get some feliway etc for his arrival to help him chill.

Re: Jerry's long journey


We moved 4 from Salisbury to Cambridge. They didn't mind s
a steady 50 on a straight road but howled at roundabouts so Milton Keynes was hell. Cleo is a very stressy cat but she was actually pretty calm- she had an old T-shirt belonging to OH as she seems to like his smell and he was following later so wasn't in the car. She did pee though and the car took a while to recover ! Lime essential oil works well for that.
I know you won't be with him for a short time but if he has something that smells of you that will help.
