Has anyone travelled with 2 cats? We travel with our small dog but as yet not with the cats. It is becoming increasingly harder to get cat sitters. We want to do a 4 week trip and thinking of taking cats with us. We have boarded them once and they both came home sick so wont do that again. Thanks

For example: I have been running Wiki Camps quite happily on my expensive and high end Asus tablet for about three or four years. This tablet runs Android 4.
