Yes, Feliway is really good. I thought that they would be medicated with something not being good.
I also make sure to spray at least an hour before the cats go into their carrier – if it’s too fresh, they hate it! Have a safe trip!

Allow it the time to dry, never spray while cat is inside. It really calms them down. I do this when transporting to the vet. Makes a big difference between having a panicked cat in a carrier traveling for a few miles and having a lay back cat having a nap on the way. The worst it can do is nothing. It's not harmful and the cats all react much the same, either calm or not as stressed out as they would be. Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too! _____ From: Natalie <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 5:05 PM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] FELV Transport to Best Friends If I may offer some advice, don’t sedate! My vet hates it because you never know how any cat may react…cats get more frightened by sedation, what’s happening to them, than a trip. As long as their cage/carrier is covered, to make them feel safe, there’s not much of problem. I have been transporting cats by car and even on the plane in the cabin often, and never used sedation. Some cats were not exactly “tame”.

The rescue was unable to offer any assistance with the transport in the time frame needed so they are holding off on getting 2 of the cats there. Instead I will be transporting an FIV+ stressed out kitty on my trek. Wish me luck that his sedatives work! Thanks so much for the offer to help. -- Jamielynn Storch www.jlynnphotographyonline.com <http://www.jlynnphotographyonline.com/> _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
