Gene,
Thanks for the info. I suspect you mean for the big boy to be on top of the Westy?
If so he would get really lonely. He is mostly a big lap cat . Hardly ever goes outside 
He's on my lap now. I should get him his personnel iPad

Have a cushy bed in one corner for him to curl into and snooze, and carpet the rest so he can roam and pace with sure footing.  Provide an assortment of small toys so that some of the roaming is somewhat less mindless. Spill-proof water device of course and availability of dry food.  Litter box in a corner farthest from the bed.

I think the trip will take at least 6 weeks from Vermont and don't want to leave our cat with someone for that length of time. One thought was to buy a big Sprinter ($$$ ouch!) that doesn't seem very practical. lol
