Whats the best way to travel long distance with cats?

Rudd I just bought two new good size carriers. Any hints on the best way to travel with my little buggers? Should I make a small litter box to put in the cages? Or stop and put them in a litter box? Climax put small boxes in the cages, make sure they have plenty of water and a bit of food...not sure how far your traveling but if it is more than 8 hours I'd get a hotel room for exercise. Taking them out of the cages while on the road isn't a good idea. they might not like traveling and will run when you get them out Orange Lake If you plan on stopping at motels on your trip, have a litter box ready to go in the room with you. Don't feed them the morning of the trip, only give them water. You can get pills from your Vet to prevent them being upset. Ask about 'Ace'. Most of the cat carriers I've had would not have room for a litter box. Chances are they wouldn't use it anyhow. Be very careful opening their carrier doors, until you are safe inside and no way for them to escape. They'll be afraid and will run, if given a chance. Have a nice and safe trip.

Her cats just curl up under the seats and sleep while they travel.

Is november good enough to travel thru madagascar or is the rain going to spoil my vacation?

West Menlo Park I would like to travel to Madagascar in November until mid December (6 weeks). But I keep reading that it is rainy season during that time. Unfortunately that's the only time when my boss let's me go on holiday. Is it still good enough to travel thru Madagascar when it is rainy season or will it be too stressy and difficult to travel around? Milburn Most rain here falls between November and March, much of it in heavy downpours with hail and thunder. Rainfall during the rest of the year is mostly very light and sporadic. On the plateau temperatures fall to moderate levels during the dry season and the nights may be chilly, but frost only occurs on the highest mountains. For climatic reasons tourists prefer the inter-season (April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December)FOR YOUR INFOlast year during Nov there were 28,511 international tourists in Madagascar compared to 16,089 in Feb, During October 32,364October seems to be the favorite. But Nov is in the very first part of "winter" season. ENJOY Belleville Check out these pictures of Madagascar...http://www. picstropical. com/madagascar/ ...you will love it New Salem I was in Madagascar (Antananarivo the entire time) in January and February, and it rained every day from mid-afternoon until nighttime. I walked and took taxis everywhere I went, so even with a long, heavy raincoat, I was soaked from the shoulders up and the knees down. Fortunately, it is approaching summertime during November and December (because it's the southern hemisphere), so it will be very warm. That was what made the rain bearable. I had a wonderful experience and I fell in love with the country and the people, so if the rainy season is the only time you can go, do it! Just know that you will need extra travel time wherever you go, and that you are not likely to get there dry. Invest in a good pair of Chacos (you don't want to wear socks all day if your feet will be wet), insect repellent, and something that will keep your camera dry, because you will want pictures! Have fun!

Hypothetically could something travel faster than the speed of light if its traveling in a different medium?

Muscoy My Optics lecturer said something about how since light travels in a vacuum, you could, potentially, have something travel faster in a different medium, one other than a vacuum. True or false? Rio Verde It has been done. Get something traveling in a vacuum just below the speed of light, and then whack it into a medium where it is now traveling at faster thant he speed of light in that medium. The particles that have had this done to them, slow down dramatically, and radiate their previous energy - its called Cerenkov radiation. So, yes - particles can exceed the speed of light, if they are in some medium other than a vacuum, but not for very long. Monrovia They've played some interesting games in the past 10 years with materials that have bizarre dispersion relations (a fancy way of saying how much the medium slows down any given frequency of light). One of the most surprising results was the demonstration of a wave traveling BACKWARDS at 300 times the normal speed of light. It turns out there was no contradiction; no information ever traveled faster than c. Rather it was just a feature of a wave moving that fast; not a real "object" at all. A more easily visualized example: If you shine a hypothetical perfectly focused laser pointer on a distant planet, in principal you could get the spot to move over the surface faster than the speed of light. But no single bit of information--no single photon--ever moved faster than c. Relativity allows what you might call "apparent" objects (like the spot where a laser pointer hits a surface) to move faster than c, but anything that carries actual information (like a photon, or a baseball) can't. At least, not by any means that we're yet aware of. Nephi A vacuum is supposedly space with no matter in it. Adding matter, such as air, slows light rather than speeding it up. You would have to put something other than matter in the space to get a different medium. So what else is there besides matter and no matter? However, in my Fractal Foam Model of Universes, space has substance (ether), and light propagates thru that substance like an acoustic shear wave in a solid. In most solids, pressure waves propagate faster than shear waves. I believe pressure waves propagate thru the ether at the speed of gravity, which is at least 20 billion times faster than light. It is not a different medium, but a different mode of wave motion. Charleston Park I would have to say false. Light is known to slow down anytime it enters a medium other than a vacuum. A vacuum offers no resistance to light. But here's a concept. Light is traveling toward you at the speed of light. You are traveling toward the light source at the speed of light. Therefore, you are traveling at twice the speed of light relative to the light traveling in the opposite direction you are traveling - relativity theory. Hanover Seven Hundred years ago, It was a well known fact that the world was flat. Some time ago it was also a well known fact that the earth was the center of the universe. Not 100 years ago It was a well known fact that black people were inferior. Bottom line, It is a current fact that the speed of light is the fastest speed anything in our universe can achieve. Years from now, this may change, and anything and any discovery is possible, but you're speculating on what we currently have not discovered how to prove and or discover. Your answer is false... for now. Surfside I find this extremely difficult to swallow, honestly. As any entity's density increases as it approaches light-speed, it's hard to believe anything could (given our current understanding) possibly travel any faster. As you approach this cosmological speed limit, an INFINITE amount of energy becomes necessary to shatter this barrier because, as you become increasingly heavier as your size contracts (Lorenz Factor), increasingly more energy is needed to push you, first, to the barrier and, then, past it. I may perhaps be ignorant of some critical information but what I've provided above is, in a nutshell, the very problem most physicists quote in rebuke of the possibility of Warp Speed, as it were. Hope it helps. Waltham If that medium bends time then yesbut u wouldnt need to with artificial gravity field Inver Grove Heights theres always something new to find out so i wouldnt say false. besides humans dont know everything. Rangerville true a simple thought in your brain can travel faster than the speed of light Rockvale true
