My sister & I drove from Sacramento down to Ensenada with our cat, Timmy. We stopped in some city near the grapevine (can't remember the name) and spent the night at a hotel. Before we left, we went and bought a bunch of goodies: a nice kennel/cage thingy, lots of his favorite food, a nice cushion, etc. and I was so afraid that he would be a pain but he was the best ever!!! He probably whined for about the first 10-15 minutes and then he chilled out the rest of the trip. I just looooove him!
