Got experience traveling (flying) with cats? Advice needed here!
Do you have any suggestions for traveling long distance with a cat? I’m talking about 15+hours on one leg of the flight and 5-6 on another, from Thailand to Portland, Oregon. My cat is very vocal, especially in a carrier, and I am worried about the noise she may make if she travels under my seat, but people say traveling in the pet area in the cargo hold is dangerous. What have you heard? Also do you have recommendations on carriers? I’m supposed to provide food and water containers attached securely to the carrier. Thanks for all your help. I look at your blog every day and enjoy it very much, although I am one of the “lurkers”. Mary
I have actually not flown with cats at all, but I do know that I wouldn’t have a cat travel in the cargo hold. Hopefully people who have flown with cats will have some helpful suggestions. How about it, y’all – got suggestions? Please chime in in the comments!

Snuggly boys. I am SO glad these two are going home together!
Carmy’s all “It’s Thlurrrpsday, right?” All week long I have had NO idea what day it was. Christmas Eve felt like a Friday. Christmas day felt like a Monday. I thought yesterday was Friday again.
It’s ALWAYS nappin’ time, no matter the day.
Richie has a rest after jumping for the dangly mouse.
Perhaps one day Tina will learn to relax.
Richie’s keeping an eye on the birds.

Happy Boxing Day! Who says boxes are just for cats? 📦

The kittens have a tussle. Sometimes Carmy has the upper paw, and sometimes it’s Richie!

Richie was in the litter box, and I thought for sure that EITHER Tina (who was lurking right outside the door) was going to jump on/at him, or that he’d come zooming out and she’d give chase. Neither of those happened, but it was pretty cute anyway!
Good night innernets. (Carmy (left) and Richie)
