If one of them did notice, I would make up stuff, like "Mom's sad because her father's sick," etc. It really helped having a place to go to cry and release that stress of holding it in. You could also try the bathroom where you live.
I am glad your kitty is still with you and hope the new medicine for her helps.

Thank you. This is an all too familiar situation for me, too. Unfortunately my kids now sit in front seat...but still the car is a comfort.
Finding an excuse to go somewhere at 9 at night is always a challenge....but I do so appreciate hearing that I am not the only one that has done this.
Thank you again. You really helped in more ways than I can say.
