Wolfie’s first road trip and hotel stay! So he’s a year and a half now…

As a kitten… or leading up to this… he’s been on a couple of PetSmart trips, one home visit, vet visit… one Alexandria birthday outing including busy restaurant with lots of fans…

But we were still anxious to see if he would love traveling with us.
Quick’ish 3-hour no traffic drive to Norfolk/VA beach to visit family who just had a baby Dec 23rd.

Here’s the prep we did:
- Ensured leaving at a time where there would be no traffic so less stress on humans… and that would trickle down to Wolfie
- Natalie groomed him all up
- introduced him to traveling litter box and used his old litter
- got calm spray for initial drive
- bough a new traveling bag he could crawl in
- brought his stroller for possible vacation walks
- food, treats, and a few of his favorite toys
- didn’t feed him too much before car ride
- would have put him in litter to encourage before leaving, but I didn’t need to because I witnessed litter box use right before leaving

Lots of mom and Lola (me) confidence and excitement energy for him…
