it is much safer to keep your cats crated during the journey for that same reason you keep seatbelts on yourself and kids. if there was an accident you don't want your cats flying into the windscreen or thrown around the car potentially causing head injuries to the people in the car, or even crawling under the front seat and around your feet while driving. sooo dangerous... if you crate them at home for an hour or so each day before you go when they are fed, they may get used to the crates enough to be quiet on the journey exceot for rest stops when they get to stretch their legs.
