Traveling with two cats

In October of 2006, William Grimes had a great piece in the New York Times
Travel Section about traveling in a car with two cats; It was titled

One Eye on the Road and One on the Litter Box

and it starts:

IT is a good idea, when traveling, to choose one's fellow passengers
carefully. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. When I set out for
six weeks in south-central Kentucky recently, hauling a trailer full of
furniture, my wife, Nancy, as always, sat in the front seat, wrestling with
several maps. But in the back seat were two new faces - furry, wide-eyed,
and expressing, very vocally, even more anxiety than the couple up front.
Soda and Sweetzie, our two cats (who had no place else to go for the six
weeks), were warming up for a performance that would last 1,500 miles, round
trip, and set new standards for misery in travel.

I assume many here have read it. If you have not, it's a very funny story
and will ring true for some cat owners. You can read the entire story (as I
have done more than once) at:

Thank you, Jay! I haven't read that story and I appreciate your posting the
link - I could use some humorous reading today.
