That is fast turn around for such a long trip. If she rides week and is it easily stressed by new places or new rounding then you can. Most cats don’t ride well and since you will only be gone a day, it will likely be better to make arrangements for her to stay behind They travel safest in a carrier and sometimes sedation is needed so talk to your vet about medication

She is due within the next 2 to 3 days including today. Give her a towel in the box and basically let her do her thing. Do not disturb her too often, just look in on her once in a while. Here is a good article: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/breeding-and-queening-cats

You should purchase a cat carrier to safely travel with Mennu. I have a link to a few examples below. It would be best to get Mennu as familiar with the carrier as possible prior to travel to help reduce stress - leave the carrier out so she can explore it. You may even want to try feeding her in the carrier. Take her for a short trip once before leaving. A pheromone spray like Feliway could help reduce stress. Good luck! https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/category/cat/cat-containment/cat-carriers-crates-and-kennels/cat-plastic-crates

Any way he can stay in a bathroom or small room instead? He will be contained but not be so stressed because you can put a litterbox, water, food, toys, and bedding in there. I would worry about a small carrier overnight because he could injure himself trying to get out. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco!
