Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2004Traveling with cat - by ship
I was thinking about moving to south america for several months and taking my cat along. I'm really against the idea of flying her over (even in the cabin) so I thought that a ship might be less traumatic for her. Has anyone else had any experience with this? Is it even allowed? The trip would take about 14-16 days... Thanks... Hang on...that wasn't very clear... I would be traveling WITH her...on a cruise ship... ;) > I was thinking about moving to south america for several months and taking > my cat along.

Okay...I did a little research and have answered my own question - "no"...there are few to no ships that allow pets onboard...So my next question... Flying: my cat is VERY people shy...I don't want her to have a heart attack or freak (crying all the way there - 14 hours) out during the flight...I've never done this so I don't know what to expect. Do cats traveling in the cabin tend to just sleep the whole time or do they cry and want out? > Hang on...that wasn't very clear... > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > > Thanks... your vet can prescribe a sedative for your cat. one of mine travels very badly in a car (cries the whole time on a 10 hour trip). one little pill and he pretty much sleeps the whole time. and it's perfectly safe. > Okay...I did a little research and have answered my own question - > "no"...there are few to no ships that allow pets onboard...So my next [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > > > > > Thanks... > Okay...I did a little research and have answered my own question - > "no"...there are few to no ships that allow pets onboard...So my next [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > never done this so I don't know what to expect.

Have you taken into account the possibilty that your cat may need to be quarantined for a while when you get there?
