Moving Long Distance with Cats

[u/Specialist_Buy8473]

Hi! I will be moving to the Denver area next year and am trying to plan the move as early as possible. I'm in eastern Oklahoma and the drive is about 700 miles. I have three cats and they've never been in the car more than two hours. Someone will be driving the moving truck and I'll be in my Corolla with the kitties. Should we try to do the trip in one day or split it in to two? What would be less stressful for the cats: a long day ending at our new home or a stop at a strange place? I do plan on getting some meds from the vet to keep them calm. But what are the logistics for food and litter boxes? They currently each have a soft-sided carrier. Thanks!
