I'm assuming that I shouldn't let them out of their carriers to roam around in the car on a rotating basis in case they get under the pedals or curl around our necks or even worse (for the male...he's really a cutie until he's scared) have our face scratched up. I would appreciate any information from anyone who has ever had similar information. Also, they moved from warm, southern Oregon to cold, northern Oregon. Is the switch to really cold weather in Indiana going to be hard on them? Should I get extra blankets? We don't want to drive the small car and trailer through the snow, ice and montain passes, and I can't afford to fly the cats. Have you ever heard of any good deals?
