Traveling Cats

I travel across country a lot with my 2 cats and 3 dogs. I needed to provide a safe, comfy way for them to travel with their food, litter box and beds. I wanted to avoid the mess that comes with water dish/litter box and wet litter on the cats. Problem solved!
I used an old dog crate that my German Shepherd had outgrown. I needed to grind off the rough edges from puppy teething and give it a good scrubbing. I also used a covered plastic storage box and lid, and an old bath room rug.
I purchased an end table from Goodwill for $5.00, and cut the legs off to my desired height. I had a spill proof feeding station for them already.
I used some spray adhesive left over from other craft projects and cut the bath rug to size. I sprayed both the surface of the table and the rubber backing of the rug pieces and pressed into place.
I then secured the "end table cat bed" to the bottom of the crate with screws.
Cat feeding station under the table.
Sizing of the litter box - tucks under the bottom shelf of the table to secure in place.
Yep - this will work.
Final touches - litter box hack. Used a ribbed bath mat to contain the cat litter tracking.
More spray adhesive over the storage lid.
A few quick cuts and trims with the scissors and utility knife.
Litter Box in place.
Finished product. We are ready to roll down the road!!

great idea if you have the room. Was it very heavy to move?
