Thank you for submitting your question regarding Shuri. I would try a couple of practice outings with her in the carrier before your big trip. It will help her get acclimated to the kennel. You can stop to offer her the litter box every two hours or so. She won't likely use it everytime, but it is nice to give her the opportunity to do so. Provide very small amounts of food at these breaks. Do not over feed her or she could become car sick. Offer water at this time too and possibly more frequently if she seems interested in drinking. Leave the air conditioning on in the car to keep her cool. You can try Feliway spray. It is a calming pheromone for cats. It is very helpful to some, while others do not like it. I hope this information helps!
