no seriously this is my personal hell so let's just get it over with. have you ever listened to 2 terrified cats yowl in unison for 3 hours straight? gets old after the first minute and after about 30 minutes of it you forget that you ever loved these fuckers. we've also had to clean up piss and poo poo twice each now. at least the cats gave literally passed out from exhaustion at this point.

2 more hours til we get to our new apartment, where the cats can run around for the first week hissing at all the new smells. moving blows, but at least I'm finally getting out of ohio and moving to a real city

You can stop by a gas station and get that Benadryl or generic stuff as long as it has Diphenhydramine and give each cat 1 or 1 and 1/2 dose and you will get silence from then on.

someone must have been a geography major! indeed it is, however most cities in ohio are similarly miserable shitholes so I didn't feel distinguishing which one was necessary for the thread


it was columbus, for the curious. actually not a bad city by ohio standards but I'm much happier about my soon to be new home

Yeah. I was surprised one of mine yowled the full 8 hours both days of my recent move. Every now and then, he'd nod off for a few seconds, them jerk his head up and let out a really abrupt yowl. Like "Oh poo poo! I fell asleep on the job!"

I was pleasantly surprised that no one pooped or peed all over themselves.

I thought so too - always said that Ohio is a cultural black hole that sucks back in those brave enough to try to leave. If for some reason I have to move back there within the next year, I'll let you know my fears were correct.

Read that the cats could have an adverse reaction. Starting to feel that would have been an ok option

Funky See Funky Do posted:

Per my husband, who had toenail fungus for years, just get the over the counter stuff and use it consistently/follow the instructions. Also keep your feet dry. He doesn't have it anymore, so I guess it worked.

drat your catte is a trooper. I saw mine do that several times too before they legit passed out. would have been funny if I wasn't so agitated. did your cats get sweaty paws and start panting a lot during the trip too?

Hell Yeah posted:

the thought crossed my mind more than once. my cats are so dumb though they can't even catch the bugs in my house, let alone hunt for food, and I guess I would probably feel bad about leaving them to die.

Not exactly... We had bad experiences when we moved from Dayton to Columbus with the cats in carriers, so we were looking for a different option. I found this product on Amazon: cat in the bag and decided to give it a shot. They did not like it. Which, in hindsight, I probably should have expected -- watch the video on that website, it's basically the kitten mittons video from always sunny

Their volume goes up with the radio's volume, we discovered.

I've heard good things about Cleveland, especially recently. And holy poo poo I didn't notice that til you pointed it out. Indiana is the type of existential hell I would expect slenderman to hang out in. Luckily though, the view out my window looks safe currently.

You hosed up, OP. I drove to Chicago from coastal NC with two cats, alone. Cats got some Xanax at the start and stayed chill. The drive was fine, aside from having to drive through OH and IN.

You hosed up. You should have taken the xanax and then you could have arrived in Chicago 15 hours later with no idea how you got there and no memory of how pissed off your cats were.
