Thanks for all the info and advice!

Tomorrow is the big day. I've had the carrier in the backyard for a couple of weeks now so he would get used to it. I added a fleece bed last week when the weather got crappy, then made a tent out of a Tidy Cat bag to keep the rain out. He loves it! He pretty much lives in it now. There are no words for how much I dread going out there in the morning and zipping him into what he now considers his safe little space, then putting him the car and driving him 13 miles to hell.

Gotta go take away his food now.
