Dmmetler Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 Birmingham is very interesting. (Or, more likely, the GPS is.... She seems confused as to where the voice is coming) 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 That's amazing! Mine pretty much has a nervous breakdown in the car. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 We've been doing short drives and taking her places for awhile, in part because she IS so human bonded. But I admit I'm surprised at how well she's done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 We made it. She did great-she got a little ancy right about as we got to Atlanta, but pretty much sat on my lap or slept in her bed the rest of the way. We stopped every couple of hours and took a break, which I think was more needed for humans than for cats. Except that we found the wrong residence inn...twice, it was pretty easy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 She's settled into the hotel nicely. She seems to be enjoying exploring. She doesn't like Midtown Atlanta construction noises much. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there is one...we're at a business type hotel in Midtown.

Dmmetler Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 For years, our trips to Atlanta have been less vacation and more like homeschooling at a coffee shop-DH comes in and works in GHQ and gets to see his team in person, and L and I do stuff on our own. It's always low key, and, for me, is a lot more relaxing than a "fun vacation"-i can't get drawn into too much work stuff from here, but there's little pressure to "Do Atlanta" when we're going to be here again in 2 months. It's honestly the perfect trip to have brought Neo on. She's getting more time with people and new places to explore-and she doesn't have the big cats getting annoyed with her kitten antics. She always gets a lot of attention, and everyone seems to love her. Eventually we'll go somewhere it doesn't make sense to take her, but she's added an extra layer of fun. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 It's a USB rechargable cat charmer-it has a rod that goes around under the fabric. Originally, it had a feather that poked out,but that didn't last long, but the rod moving makes the fabric ripple. We used to have a battery operated version, but when it died, got the rechargable one. Even the older cats enjoy it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adds a little bit of driving time,but the bookstore is worth it 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 We made it back. It took longer since we did everything in shifts so someone could stay with Neo (plus we stopped at both Chattanooga and Nashville McKay's). Neo handled it really well (including walking into her carrier to find her litter box when she needed it!). I think we may have more voyages of the traveling cat...at least for driving trips. (I don't think she'd like flying much) 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
