Okay...first off the adds on the page are to help generate cat funds. if they become too annoying or don't generate anything then I'll remove them.
But I need some lab equipment...
The move....how to describe it...well first off I'll say that you can't make stuff up like this...it took 3 hours to load the cats into carriers and my suburban. In the end, we couldn't fit 7 cats. They went in another car.
It's an hour and half drive from the old house to the new house....and about 19 miles from the new house (according to my gps) I burst a radiator hose. At 5:00am...in the rain...first exit off route 80?...by the prison of course....
thank goodness I had a case of water in the car....I filled up the radiator with the whole case and limped to the house exit...then stopped at a convenience store and got another 2 gallons of water. By then the car was overheating again as it had leaked out all that water again. We were 5 miles from the new house....we got to the new house at about 6am...the cats had been in carriers a long time. Someone pooped and stank up my car badly....peeeeuuuwww.
unloaded everyone with food and water and litterboxes and collapsed to sleep for a few hours.

Murphy's Law. I hope the damage to your car wasn't too bad, I know driving overheated can cause some serious problems but what choice did you have? You had to get the kitties to their new home. I hope they've all settled in nicely and are doing well, that it didn't stress them out too much. At least by now the worst of the move should be over. I know when we moved to TN from northern IL, a 10 hour trip, I had 3 cats in the car with me. I was amazed at how well behaved they were after the first 100 miles. I don't know what I'd have done if I'd had car trouble cause it was just me and the cats. Bet they like the extra room to roam now that they are getting adjusted.
