What a lovely kitty you have! Yes she can travel with you. You will need a carrier that can be closed securely. You should put the carrier into the car in such a way that your kitty cannot look out the window as she will not understand how the landscape can go by so fast and that will scare her. She may be crying a lot and that is somewhat unnerving. Some cats settle after a while and sleep, others will cry for 2 hours. She will likely pee in the carrier, so put a potty pad into the carrier that absorbs the pee. Make sure it is not too hot in the car, have water ready, but if it is only a two hour trip, she will likely not need water until she reaches her destination.
