I was once traveling from Georgia to Ohio with my kitten in his carrier. In July, so it was hot as shit. If I had to go, I would try to stop at rest stops where nobody would care or notice if I brought a carrier into the bathroom. However, on the way back, I got food poisoning that started hitting in the last 3 hours of the drive. So I was pretty much pulling over at every exit and going to the bathroom in the first building that had one. McDonalds, Gas stations, Waffle House, whatever. I did not care. But I knew I needed to book it in without being noticed and if I walked in with a carrier, a restaurant would (rightfully) tell me I couldn't come in. So when I was driving, I cranked the AC to the coldest it would go, which was absolutely miserable for me since I had the chills, but it was enough to keep the car cool when I went to the bathroom. I would give myself no more than 5 minutes to get out whatever I could get out and get back to the car. When I'd get back, the car was still cool inside and the kitten was fine. I was just praying nobody would try to be a good Samaritan and smash my window when the car wasn't hot.

Ha, he actually did well on a leash so I would just take him to a patch of dirt that was out of the way and let him do his business there. But he didn’t really go at all on the drive there or back.
