Poor little kitty when through all this and now has to spend 6 months in quarantine. Six months seems rather excessive to me. http://tinyurl.com/ydfxdu Or http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2006 -11-25T022820Z_01_L24510357_RTRUKOC_0_US-CAT.xml&src=rss Randy http://picasaweb.google.com/crmartin1 http://kittenwar.com/kittens/74045/ > Poor little kitty when through all this and now has to spend 6 months > in quarantine.

Six months seems a bit harsh... at least it could be six months minus 17 days - he's been in solitary confinement for that long already! > Poor little kitty when through all this and now has to spend 6 months > in quarantine.

Poor guy. > Poor little kitty when through all this and now has to spend 6 months > in quarantine. Six months seems rather excessive to me. This isn't possible, is it? A cat who went without food for 17 days would be dead, and a cat who went without water for three would be dead. I wonder how tight the container was, and how many mice there were on the ship. At least, on the ship when it left port. ;-) Chak  SignatureI've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. --Maya Angelou >> Poor little kitty when through all this and now has to spend 6 months >> in quarantine.

The speculation is that enough water is available from condensation inside a steel container. As to food - who knows? Insects, perhaps?

I thought the UK had discontinued the six-month quarantine rule!

There is a pet passport arrangement with certain countries, but not all. All other cases require 6 mths quarantine to maintain our rabies-free condition here. Quarantine conditions are spartan but not just a cage. Usually there will be an indoor and outdoor run, and the kennel maids will give them plenty of attention. He'll be OK and will certainly have a queue of people waiting to adopt him at the end. Deb.

There is a process you can go through which basically means going through the 6months quarantine (with the cat at home) before travelling, I think it's called the Pet Passport scheme. Don't know if applies to all countries though. SignatureNik Simpson > Poor little kitty when through all this and now has to spend 6 months in > quarantine. Six months seems rather excessive to me.
