<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Hey, /r/Advice, this is my first time posting here. My significant other and I are in our mid 20s and we're moving out of state by the end of June. It's the first time we'll be moving out together with a pet and we've accumulated some things since living together so I've come to you for advice.

The basic scenario:

* We both own our own cars, 4 door compact sedans
* We live in a one bedroom apartment with no real furniture except a mattress and box spring
* We own a cat
* The drive is approximately 10 hours
* Neither of us have any experience operating or driving a truck
* Cat doesn't do so well in the car, she meows and yowls but we have let her out of the carrier and that does help some. We have only taken her on ~30 minute trips at a time.

I've looked up some options like using PODS and uShip containers, but those seem much pricier than renting a truck or a van. The cheapest option seems to be towing my car with the truck to our destination, but we're uncomfortable with that idea since none of us have experience driving a truck, let alone pulling a car with it.

The most common advice we've seen online is to purge, purge, purge. If we squished everything into two cars, I think we could make it work, but the problem is we own a cat and that complicates things. We'd want to make the ride as comfortable as we can for her.

So... the question is: what's the best approach for us to move out of state with the cat? Frugally would be ideal, but if we have to spend a little more to make the process easier for us and for our cat, that'd be great!
<bot>: Look at bullet point list above. Moving out of state with a cat. What's the cheapest and/or most convenient way for us to make this happen?
