Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2004Relocating cat
I need to ship my cat from Seattle to WA DC. I'm having problems finding any but the barest information on how to make this as comfortable as possible for the cat. Can anyone provide tips or point me to a website/newsgroup that might help. TIA ephemeral > I need to ship my cat from Seattle to WA DC.

It's no longer a great concern. If you give us a few more details about your cat's trip, we might be able to help you more. kilikini Sorry, I just assume everyone knows she is flying. I'm hoping to get her on a nonstop flight but she is traveling alone as cargo(?). My son will deliver her at the Seattle end and I will pick her up at this end (National hopefully). She's not a happy traveler - she gets very nervous. Tried a sedative once but it didn't seem to help. She's a small cat and I hesitate to give her drugs although hopefully the kitty pheremones she's been on for the past few months will help. Any info you can provide will be a great help:) ephemeral >> I need to ship my cat from Seattle to WA DC.

The cat survived, she didn't like it mind, having said that they are tough, no sweat. It will be the rehousing that is more important than the temporary discomfort of the transit. Besides if I could get as much space as a cat in a box on my tube ride to work I'd be a happy bunny... If at all possible, make arrangements for you to fly - with your cat. Do not have the cat in cargo ..no exceptions. > If at all possible, make arrangements for you to fly - with your cat. Do not > have the cat in cargo ..no exceptions. Luvkats, it's not as bad as it used to be. I believe they pressurize the cargo hold now just because of the animals. The airlines have been sued too many times over the years due to their negligence. kili > I need to ship my cat from Seattle to WA DC.
