We are heading to Florida soon, with our pets, and we'd like to make the transition as smooth as possible. We have one cat who hates being in a carrier. We are towing a 25' Keystone Zeppelin and plan to keep the pets in it while driving. The cat would torment us with incessant howling, otherwise! (the other two are large house rabbits, and they will be confined under the couch or the dinette while driving, still working on that)
I've researched "cat" on this forum and am not really finding the advice I need ...
We intend to ultimately cut a hole with a cat door into the storage bay for her litterbox, but we also need to block off access to the rest of the bay, so I'm not sure how quickly that can be done. I don't like the idea of keeping the box in the bathroom, due to smell concerns, but I'm considering using the bathtub as her "nook" while driving, so she can be in a small space. But maybe one of the kids would let her hide out in their bunk ... how worried should I be? In our stick house, she has a hiding space in the back corner or our closet, but the trailer is MUCH smaller than our house! not a lot of spaces to dedicate to a shy cat.
Also, can we put cat poop in the toilet/black tank? We don't use clay or clumping litter.
thanks
