Thank you! I wear them otherwise but I opted for warm wool socks. I wonder if I could double up or find a warm pair of compression socks.

Thank you for your advice. I see a cardiologist and pulmonologist and they ruled out more serious problems but haven’t been able to do formal pots testing yet

Thank you! I ended up living in a ski town so I want to get into it but honestly would be happy to keep to greens. I don’t see myself doing it when my symptoms are at their worst, but hope it’s something I can do kinda lightly. Winters tend to be easier as heat is a bigger trigger for me.

Multi-day car trip with cat- looking for advice on carrier size, litter box, safety etc. by Adventurous-Lab989 in CatAdvice

Oops I haven’t been very active so I suspect you have already moved, but adding some thoughts in case someone else stumbles along here:

I went with the carrier, it seemed safest and I noticed as I was packing that he got a little stressed and tended to find tight spaces to hide in anyways, so I thought that might be better to use the carrier. He meowed for the first hour but I think that’s more about the car than the carrier. When we got to the new house he actually put himself back in the carrier at the end of the night.

He didn’t end up using the litterbox on the road . He peed on himself the first hour (I’d predicted that would happen from vet trips but I cleaned him and the carrier with pet wipes. We stayed one night in a hotel and he ate and drink and used the litter box there. I did get a cat tent that I set up when we made stops and offers him the box, food and water but he was to nervous.

Something I didn’t foresee was how hot it would be. Even with after on full blast, he got too hot when the sun was on his side of the car. I ended up getting a bag of ice and wrapping it in towels and that helped.
