Reddit mentions of Pet Fit For Life Extra Large (32"x19"x19") Collapsible/Portable Cat Cage/Condo with Portable Litter Box and Bonus Cat Feather Toy and Collapsible Water/Food Bowl Large - 32" x 19" x 19"

It really is a great carrier. I was surprised at all it came with. Both of my cats fit, with the travel litter box, with plenty of room left over. Very nifty.
Pet Fit For Life Carrier

When we moved to Long Beach FROM Florida a few years ago, I had the exact dilemma with my cat. We opted for driving, as I just felt that the airport and plane experience would be too much for me and for my little one. The drive went absolutely fine, in fact I was more stressed about the cat during the trip then she was! A lot does depend on your cat's personality and her tolerance for the car ride. Plus I strongly suggest going to the vet and getting her checked out before you leave, ask them for sedating meds and for travel advice. My vet in Florida was really helpful. We bought a large soft-sided carrier for the back seat, it was so big we could fit her cat bed inside and I also added a few of my clothes that I hadn't washed so it smelled familiar. We only needed the sedation meds for the first day of the 3.5 day drive. As soon as the car got moving, she would look around for a little bit but then she would go right to sleep. No crying or whining at all. She slept most of the days away while we were driving, even without the medication. She didn't touch the "litter box" we had set up for her in the car, or eat much, until we got into a hotel room and I put the litter box down in the hotel bathroom. Getting her in and out of the car to the hotel room at the end of each driving day was a little stressful for me, as the soft sided carrier isn't for carrying your cat around in. We had our smaller hard carrier plus a leash and a collar for security during each transfer, and I either held onto her tight and walked her in my arms (with leash and collar on) to the hotel, or we moved her from the car into a smaller carrier designed for carrying around and then brought her to the hotel in there. She was a little freaked out by the first hotel room and hid behind a curtain most of the night, but hotel rooms two and three saw her lounging on the bed and acting quite normal after the first 10 minutes of adjustment. That's my experience, and every cat and every drive is different. Good luck with the move! If you're interested, the large carrier was a huge help; it came with a collapsible water bowl and litter box, both of which we used.

This is the carrier I use. Fits two comfortably, but not with the litter box in it, and takes up nearly my whole backseat so it might be too big.

With car rides my cats have done better being out of a carrier , they were calm the whole time. Didn’t meow or anything. While putting them in carriers during a drive is a whole different story , they meow like crazy and get pissed. If you’re doing a carrier I️ would suggest something comfy , and bigger. My experience flying with my cats , they take the cats to a private screening room ( you go with them) and you take them out of the carrier in there. I️ would suggest maybe putting a harness on the cat if you are worried about them running away during this.


cat carrier I️ would suggest that if you want a carrier for the car since I‎t comes with the small litter box.
