Going to Seattle

I'm transferring to a team at Google Seattle, much to my surprise (well, to the surprise of me a month ago or anytime in the past few decades, more accurately). Planning to move there, along with Alice, around early February, but keeping the house in Cambridge with intent to return in a few years...

Oh, we also have to figure out how to move a cat.

will you be driving or flying there?

when my family moved from Wisconsin to Florida, we owned a passenger minivan, and drove down with the cat.
Clyde was allowed to roam loose, with food, water & litterbox set out for him.
We also got some sedatives from the vet. He was kept heavily sedated the first day, and we tapered it off over the trip.
The only problem I remember involved my father having to slam on the breaks just as Clyde was stepping into the litterbox - partly tipping it over.

iff you're driving, so long as the car isn't totally jam-packed with stuff, you should be able to do something similar in the back seat area.

good luck!
