We had one cat who traveled well. Didn't need to be caged.
But alas, that has not happened with our current 3. They howl for a while then conk out. The trip is pretty long. 6-8 hrs.
We had a orange Maine coon once ...he was so delightful.
But in the car? He howled for the WHOLE trip. I thought I'd die with that stress. I don't trust cats anymore uncaged in cars.
One we had liked to wedge herself under the accelerator and brake pedals. She was unpredictable too, and hated to be caged.
So I only had one I could trust loose in the car. I kept a harness on her and leash, so she wouldn't bolt when we opened the doors. I was afraid she'd run off at a rest stop and we wouldn't be able to get her back, etc.
I have seen cats in the back windows of cars. Less so now with the crating of dogs, etc. Most people put them in a carrier like we do now.
