My 3 year old cat has only even been on a few car rides since we got him. Each time, he screams the whole way, and if he's in a carrier, he scratches at it until he rips out his claws, he bashes his head and nose on the bars until his nose is bloodied and rubs the bridge of his nose raw. When we first got him from the humane society, he had a scab on the bridge of his nose from doing the same. His nose is scarred from it. If we let him sit on a lap, he screams, scratches, and wets! Our cat is normally a very well bahaved cat, has never gone to toilet anywhere apart from outdoors, or his box. He rarely cries. He never scratches, or bites. He even comes when called and minds when he's told 'no'. It's like he's a different cat when in the car. We will be moving about 2000 miles away soon.The longest trip we've had him on was 1 hr. We are afraid he will do himself even more damage if we must have him in the car that long.How much benydyrl is safe? another sedative? Any ideas?
