    Hello friends and welcome to another video! So, late last year we decided to take the plunge and move across the country for a fresh start in a new place. After doing some serious decluttering, we packed up our house, grabbed our cat, and hit the road (and vlogged our whole cross-country road trip in our minivan!) It's been a couple of months and we are finally set up enough to dive back into making videos, so here is our moving vlog! Hopefully you guys enjoy it, and thank you for being so patient with us while we figure all of this out.
    Also, sorry about any smudginess of the windshield! It was tough to keep clean on our drive, but I know sometimes it can look gross, so sorry about that! Lol

      Crusty was, unfortunately, already having health issues long before they moved. He was quite old, and the change from the west coast to the east coast had little to nothing to do with his passing. The biggest reason we found out so much about his health problems was that the Livestream audience constantly asked about him. So, we got weekly updates.

When people say "marry your best friend", this is the epitome. I know a lot of your viewers are younger and it is SO important that they see this level of healthy communication and affection. It's also important for people more like me whose last relationship may not have been a good one. It makes me so happy to see both of you happy together.

      It's not being a Debby Downer as you put it, it's being realistic. You have no idea what their relationship dynamics are off of RUclips, you only see what people want you to see but if you want to keep your head in the clouds then that is your prerogative.

    Edit: Oh god I feel like some of you in this thread don't understand: I was playing at the fact that Safiya was obviously referring to 22 degrees fahrenheit. As a european I thought it was celcius in the first second which is why I was confused about the frost (22 degrees fahrenheit is -5 degrees celcius which is why the frost makes sense xD)

      We went in Florida when I was a teenager, it takes 2 days. We did it in one, because my father wouldn't stop. He was even bothered when we had to go to the bathroom!
      I remember, on the way back, he was mad that we wanted to eat. He waited for us in the car while we ate.

The goal is to find small towns near (60 miles or less) of the cities.

      @@annies6566 Fun fact that's most likely the case but I can't be 100% sure cause I wasn't there: the missing ear tip is most likely from when he was neutered as a stray. Trap-Neuter-Return programs work to curb stray cat populations by trapping colonies, spaying/neutering them so they don't multiply, and releasing them back to where they were found so another colony doesn't just move on in. TNR programs mark that the cat has been spayed/neutered by sterily cutting off the ear tip where the cat won't feel too much pain (sort of like if you went into surgery and they pierced your ear while you were unconscious).
      Basically, at some point Crusty was TNR neutered (most likely when he was a very young kitten, since in one video Safiya and Tyler said he'd had a vasectomy instead of his balls removed).

    Don’t know why this video is so intriguing, but it is. Love the vibe of this couple. I’m a cat person, so the addition of crusty is interesting to me. Crusty is traveling really well. The scenery is great. And in addition I was born in Texas. This is 2 years ago, I’m just now catching up.

    I'm so glad that they planned travelling around Crusty. There are a lot of people who wouldn't have. As someone with a 22 year old cat, moving with an elderly cat is hard (and it was just across the city for me!). Crusty may have looked disgruntled throughout the video, but the fact that he slept for most of the road trip and didn't seem to have too many issues in the hotel rooms speaks a lot to the kinds of people and pet owners they are.

      @@rnslove There really are no secrets. As someone with an 18 year old cat, who has had many cats and dogs - sometimes you just get lucky. It does depend on breeds and their general health sometimes. But in the end it doesnt matter, just make sure they have a happy and good life, however long it lasts.

      @@rnslove As Darky0 said, there are a lot of factors and there really are no secrets. What matters is giving them the best life they can have. In my cat's case, it's in large part because she's a survivor. We've done everything we can for her over the years.
      When we rescued her ten years ago, when she was twelve, the vet said to put her down because she was so sick and malnourished. We refused to give up on her, even with every complication that came up. Anxiety so she wouldn't eat alone? Feed her next to the kitchen table. And inflamed stomach for years of stess before she was rescued? Change her diet until we found something she wouldn't throw up. Litterbox issues? Put a litterbox where she's going to the bathroom. Arthritis? Pet steps to help her get into bed, omega 3 fatty acids, a heated cat bed. To old for the pet steps? Sleep on the floor with her at night.
      One of the biggest things for her, though, was getting other cats. The vet always said she would have to be an only cat. Due to extenuating circumstances, we got another cat when she was 19. Long story short, we now have five cats and she loves all of them. She's significantly more relaxed, she sleeps with them and grooms them, etc. They've done her a world of good.
      The biggest thing, though, is to give your cat the best and happiest life they can have.
