hehehe, this whole thing is cracking me up, i don't really know why. I took Kitty on a 9 hour car ride useing his tank as his transport vehical, but he was iside the tank in a pillow case and his Glad ware hide. I Specify glad ware because I used the lid but there is an opening cut out ofr enrty/exit. The pillowcase was large enough that its extra cloth provided all needed padding and all the furnature had been cleared out so he was fine the whole way and things smelled familiar to him, which I imagine helps. Good luck
