Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2004cats flying cargo
...often arrive at destination and arrive alive, having suffered an enormous trauma. The noise of an airplane is deafening. Never mind unfamiliar surroundings, extremes of temperature and being handled roughly as 'baggage'. Sometimes they go to very different destinations because a baggage handler cannot read.....like the one I saw left in its carrier on the tarmac in Alaska in January, labeled to go to Alabama. If the cat dies during the trip, the airline says 'sorry'. That's not quite good enough, is it? Persians and other cats with flat faces have enough respiratory difficulties without adding low-or no-air pressure at 30,000 feet. A car trip, if at all possible, is unquestionably preferable. If cats must fly, they should go in the cabin with their people. This takes a lot of advance arranging,and buying soft-sided carriers.... but we owe it to pets. www.mimiforsyth.com yes, yes, we all know this. there was a huge thread a few weeks ago about this very topic. > ...often arrive at destination and arrive alive, having suffered an > enormous [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > www.mimiforsyth.com > yes, yes, we all know this. there was a huge thread a few weeks ago about > this very topic. Well now, Rob, not everyone was reading the group a few weeks ago. We get lots of repeat info and questions. That's just the way Usenet is. There are only, after all, a finite number of topics regarding cats to discuss. If we become one of those places where every repeat question gets "Do a Google search we already talked about that" we won't have anything to talk about at all. (Another version is "Read the FAQ." A very good reason not to HAVE a FAQ.) > > ...often arrive at destination and arrive alive, having suffered an > > enormous [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > > > www.mimiforsyth.com True, but this post just came out of left field in response to nothing. >> yes, yes, we all know this. there was a huge thread a few weeks ago about >> this very topic.

On another newsgroup about cats, somebody is asking about professional pet shippers. In case that person monitors this one too, I posted here too. Chill, Rob! www.mimiforsyth.com > True, but this post just came out of left field in response to nothing. Well, you would be happy to have had the advice "out of the blue" if you were one of the heartsick people with cats the airlines lost. > >> yes, yes, we all know this. there was a huge thread a few weeks ago about > >> this very topic. [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > >> > > >> > www.mimiforsyth.com Or you would just be reminded of your loss.... either way, the advice is fine, it's just a peeve when someone comes out of the woodwork with an lecture type post targeted at everyone (most of whom here either know better or would ask when the need arises or would use google to search for info). Normally I'd just ignore it, today for some reason, in bothered me enough to open my keyboard :P. $ set /topic=ignore:on >> True, but this post just came out of left field in response to nothing. > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] >> >> > >> >> > www.mimiforsyth.com > Or you would just be reminded of your loss.... either way, the advice is > fine, it's just a peeve [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > $ set /topic=ignore:on You are such a princess. I'm so happy you're ignoring this topic now, so you won't be offended by this observation. > >> True, but this post just came out of left field in response to nothing. > > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > >> >> > > >> >> > www.mimiforsyth.com |
