My question is, if she is. It interested at all in food or litter during travel is that ok? I know once we get to our room in London she will eat as long as I'm in there with her, just want to know if the 20 stressful trip turns out she is not interested in food is that doable? It would be a lot more costly to all the adding cost of bringing her with me (800 extra dollars) to get a room in Paris if I need to break the trip but I will do it if you think 20 hours is too long.

Please give me your advice?
That trip would exhaust me, let alone a cat.

Find a budget hotel room that allows pets and give both yourself and the cat a breather. Pick a cheaper neighborhood; the cat won't care about sightseeing.
