Default Flying wth cats

I noticed that Caroline could not answer your question because her cats flew
in cargo. *I have flown many times with my cats (one at a time, when I only
had one). *I always flew with them in the cabin with me, and each of the
cats traveled with no difficulty at all. *The only time a cat got sick was
years ago before airplanes would permit the cat in the cabin. *I did travel
with the cats in cargo several times during that period, and they seemed
nauseated each time -- but no problems since I began traveling with them in
the cabin. *It is important to make reservations well in advance because
most airlines will only permit one pet per cabin. *You will be charged as if
your cat is "excess baggage" even though Rusty will take the place of your
carry-on suitcase. *I suggest that you try to get an aisle seat. *It is
easier to get the carrier under that seat than under one of the inside
seats. *Incidentally, Rusty will be under the seat in *front* of you, so you
also need to avoid the very first row of seats because there would be no
place to put Rusty in that case.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately Air Canada no longer allows pets in
cabin. At one point they won't even allow pets in cargo but relented
when it met with protests from
pet owners. I think West Jet still does, but it does not have non-stop
flight for me.

I can't even take Rusty on a city bus. Since I don't have a car, I
have to take a cab
whenever I took him to the vet. Last time I waited almost an hour
before the dispatcher found a cab driver who is willing to take a cat
in a carrier.
There is a currently a proposal to allow pets on buses but the bus
drivers are
complaining because of allergy issues.

Big Sigh!

A little over a month ago, we relocated from Virginia USA to Oregon
USA, from right coast to left coast. DH's employer promoted him, which
came with a relocation. I've got a new job that allows me to work
from home (the cats sleep all day, go figure, except when I need to be
on the phone with a client, whereupon they yowl and play fight.
LOUDLY.).

We are in a temp housing apartment for the moment, but found a house
that we will be moving into in about 3 weeks. I won't mention the
ordeal of selling our VA house. At least we finally got an offer on
it.


LOL, you GO girl!! Congratulations. Sorry about the trip being rough, but
glad you all made it all right. Is it ok to ask where in Oregon? I used to
live in Springfield (outside Eugene) and my best friend in College lived in
years in Lake Oswego, a suburb of Portland.

Pam S. thrilled for you all

The trip out was memorable, and mercifully brief (in hindsight). We
flew. I had boarded the cats for the 2 days the movers were in packing
and loading. I picked them up the day of the flight, Pippin peed in
his carrier on the way to the airport. At the airport, we had to do
the special check-in with the cats. You should have seen my face when
the TSA agent said "Now take the cat out so we can inspect the
carrier." So there I was, holding a pee-soaked, terrified Pippin (who
fortunately was too scared to panic) in a very crowded and noisy
airport while TSA made sure that I hadn't packed the carrier with
explosives. Sheesh. Our flight was delayed by almost an hour, but we
made it to Oregon very late that night (our two DDs did really well).

We've recovered from that, and have settled in as much as one can in a
dwelling with only a few of our own things in it.

The cats have benefitted in one way: I went to the local craft store
the other day to get stuff for the girls, and came home with arm loads
of things like small pompoms, beads, pipe cleaners, feathers... The
girls have learned that it's more fun to watch the cats play with
"their" things than it is to fuss about the cat having stolen a
pompom.

Purrs and hugs to all who need them.

Caroline S. and Pippin and Mithu


Congratulations on a smooth? move! I can't believe that the TSA made you
take out the cat at the risk of losing Pippin, for gosh sakes. Like you
stuck a bomb up his butt?

I love Oregon, I hope you do, too. Good luck!
