Today, I'm moving from Arizona to Washington State with my 2 cats in my car. I've only just left and just learned that one cat gets carsick and the other stress farts. Only 956 more miles to go. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I just landed in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, I also took off from Washington, DC an hour ago. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Today, for the first time in about 3 years, I decided to clean my car. It was going really well until I looked down at what I was about to pick up. On the back seat floor lay a dead snake, which at one point, for God knows how long, was living in my car while I unknowingly drove it around. FML
Today, I was going to a Harry Potter convention since I love the books so much. On my drive there I got lost, and it only got worse when my car broke down. Since I'd forgotten my phone, I tried to hitch a ride. I stood on the side of a road for two hours dressed like Ron Weasley. FML
Today, my mom decided to follow me during my driving test. She rear ended me. FML
Today, I had been sick all day, so to cheer me up my dad drove me to get ice cream. On our way back, we hit a puppy. FML
Today, thanks to my new anti-anxiety meds, I am finally no longer agoraphobic. Today also marks 5 weeks of constant diarrhea due to the same meds. Guess who's not leaving the house anytime soon. FML
Today, my family went on vacation. I had to stay home to take care of everyone's animals. I called my mom, who said she was too busy to talk to me. When my sister asked her who was on the phone, she replied, "The dog sitter." FML
Today, I went to my grandmother's house to pick up her cat to take him to the vet. She forgot who I was and sprayed me in the face with pepper spray. FML
Today, I was on a flight coming back home. On my right was a fat monk who was snoring very loudly, and on my left there were two old women who were talking about their teenage love lives in detail. The flight was 17 hours long. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You never took them for a ride? Well, at least you learn something :D ... to always buy air freshener for long trips. Good luck OP, Open the windows.

And to always do small test drives with an animal before a long trip. Though, wouldn't trips to the vets have given indication to these problems.

How on earth would a vet know that a cat gets car sick?!

The driving to the clinic...

I've learned the hard way that a trip to the vet isn't always a good indicator. My cats are completely fine on the way to the vet. It's when the trip lasts longer than around 20 minutes that we start having issues. One of them starts screaming at me around that time and doesn't stop until he goes to sleep. If I forget he's there and start singing with the radio he wakes up and I have to hear it for another 45 minutes at least. And that's after I learned to put him in the seat where he can't see me... The other one stress drools (like a river- there's an actual puddle in the floor of his cage that I have to pull over and clean periodically), and one time we got stuck behind a wreck and a 6 hour drive turned into 8. That was the day I learned exactly how long he can hold his bladder (about 7 hours). He's also had carsickness, but not every time thankfully. I just hope the OP has a few plastic bags and a roll of paper towels.

#107 it is very common when you research taking long driving trips with cats, it is suggested to have them be medicated to have them sleep for the ride. it will keep them quite and not have anxiety. I did some research when I was planning on moving from Ontario to New Brunswick but thankfully I didn't have to.

I live in WA. It is rainy windy cold and dark. But it's not full of vegans and hippies. At least not where I'm from. I like how pretty and green it is and I like summers because it rarely gets too hot it's usually comfortable.

I live in Australia. It's generally hot, and when it rains it rains for ages. It's the best goddamn country in the world.

There's more to Washington than rain. The eastern half of the state is NOT rainy.

I live in Illinois and no one cares

Washington is not full of really bad art. People see beauty and greatness in different ways than others.

Crates still have holes. Chances are OP will still be able to smell it.
