I will be traveling with my cat to LA, 6 hours driving. My problem is, every time my cat get away from home, he gets very stressful, afraid....
and I need to know how I can clam him down, make him to feel comfort, safe...
I tried some kind of spray that you use to comfort the cat, but it doesn't work for my cat!!
I want to know if there is any kind of medicine ?? or it'd be best if it can make him sleep for 6 hours.
I can't even bring him to the vet because it won't get into the cage...
I really need help plz!!!

I believe RarePuss mentioned something about BeneBac in another thread, let me go find it...

Flower essences such as Rescue Remedy or our "Adjustment" formula (www.spiritessence.com) are much safer and work better than sedatives.

Also, take a look at this terrific site for a ton of info on traveling with cats:

Thanks spacemonkey for finding that! 8)

When we moved Marsh from breeder to our home, we drove 3 hours. Breeder gave Marsh BeneBac right before we left, and he slept all teh way home, very calm, not afraid at all. To me, this is an excellent solution that i saw work wonders

any pet store, like Petco or PetSmart. They're cheap, get the smallest size, maybe $1 to $3. Read directions as to how much to give per pound per cat. Good luck

My cats hate traveling in Pet Taxis - I'm assuming you take your cat in his holder?

What I did was get harnesses and leashes. I have three cats and we travel four hours to visit my parents a lot. They all have their "favorite" places in my Blazer and they sleep. If they're in holders, they howl and get extremely upset.

same with Marsh! If we try to hold him in a carrier in a car, he gets VERY upset, once the door is open and he's 'free' it's a different cat altogether
