I took both kitties with me when I moved to the UK. They had to go as freight!! British Airways gave them their own kitty passports and let them have the run of their office until flight time. The vet cautioned against giving either of them a sedative, so it was horrifying to listen to them. You'd think their whiskers were being pulled out one by one.
Now that I think of it, we did give a cat of ours a quarter of a dramamine (sp?) for a long road trip. It sure made her sleepy! I would check with the vet since animals respond so differently to drugs than humans, and other animals (dogs vs. cats).
Once I dropped one of my kitties off the luggage cart while he was in the carrier. He bounced pretty good. No damage detected.
