Air Travel With Cat
I might be going to a cat show in Las Vegas with my cat Isis and was
wondering if anyone had any tips on how to travel with her by air. I have read it isn't good to tranquilize a cat for air travel since it could be problematic. I have also read that bringing the cat as carry-on and being able to fit the carrier under the seat is ideal but have no clue how much room there is under the seat for a carrier. I have a small carrier (not hard but more sherpa bag-like) but am not sure if it is small enough. I am guessing the flight will be an hour or so since I'll be going there from Phoenix. I am concerned that she might need to use the litterbox as well and I am pretty sure they probably won't allow her out for a bathroom break. If I also were to fly I plan on bringing her into the vet before hand so she is checked out and also has her health certificates with me (This is a new vet so I imagine they'll probably give her a rabies shot and others). I am also wondering if travelling by car is better or less stressful as a trip to Vegas is probably at least a 4-6 hour drive by car? I want to do what is less stressful on Isis. She is ok with car travel short distances but I am not sure as it is a much longer distance. I also have never been to Vegas so I am a bit uneasy. Is air travel better than car travel for a cat? If so, which airline is the best to travel with a cat? -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com |
