It's very amicable but we're also moving a fair distance away from each other. One of them also hates the carrier and screams like a dying banshee, pees all over himself, it's ugly

My vet gave me gabapentin for one of my cats because she gets so stressed out going to the vet. Sadly, she has go regularly because of her issues.
