My family is planning to visit me in NYC and they will be bringing their cat along. The cat is very skittish and freaks out even on a 10 minute ride to the vet. The trip is about 9-11 hours in a crowded car, then the cat has to stay in a studio apt it has never been in.
On a scale of 1-10, how bad of an idea is this?

How long of a stay is it?

4 days.
I'd say its a 9.5, wow, it won't work, you'd have to keep it confined the whole time and it'd panic, could even go into shock. Very dangerous. I tried to get my cat to come into my new house (just round the corner from my old house), she panicked so much she ran into the closed patio doors and injured herself. Cats hate change, especially if it's forced upon them. You'd be better leaving kitty at home and getting someone to call round and feed/pet her.

Pretty bad idea. He will probably shit behind your couch or TV stand or something. Why not just leave him at home? Cats can be left alone for 4 days.
horrible idea
i wouldn't allow it, personally
Fucking awful. Just hire a sitter to come by once a day to refresh the food and clean the box. The amount that will cost will be cheaper than the hell you are going to go through.
