Re: need advice on flying with a cat

Edie - I have traveled a lot with cats, by car and plane.  I agree
with the folks who say to take him in the cabin.  I would not agree
with those who say to withhold food and water for several hours before
the flight, because what with check in and all, he will be going
without water for too long.  Take the food and water away about an
hour before leaving for the air****t.  Check with the airline
beforehand and find out about all their regulations for health
certificates and all.  And be aware - whether he goes with you in the
cabin or down below, you will have to take him out of his carrier and
hold him in your arms while the carrier is scanned - get a good grip
on him.

If you do take him in the cabin, I recommend the rolling Sherpa pet
carrier.  good luck.
