It's not that the country won't accept them, Japans rules are very strict and the process is lengthy and costs about 600 bucks per cat. You have to have a microchip installed and send blood samples then many months later if accepted they can go. To try and take them at once would mean quarantining them for 180 days (unthinkable). > It's not that the country won't accept them, Japans rules are very strict > and the process is lengthy and costs about 600 bucks per cat.

In the late 1960s my wife and I moved from California to England and took three dogs and two cats who had to be quarantined for six months. We did have visitation privileges and for that six month period visited our pets once a week. When their time was up and they at last came home it was almost as if they never spent any time in quarantine.  SignatureJames Leo Ryan .....

Within just a couple of days both the dogs and the cats quickly seemed to realize that they were home and acted just like they had before the quarantine. The quarantine kennel itself was set up so that each day each of the animals got personal attention and a play period, the dogs were taken to a play area and exercised with ball catching and such and the cats to an area where they got to chase feathers on a string and such. The only downside was that it was about 40 miles from where we were living and it was not possible to visit except on Saturdays. SignatureJames Leo Ryan .....

Just like a state prison.......Except, when the prisoners asked each other, "What are you in for?" The answer was always the same...."I don't know."...:^) >> My friend has been relocated and must move to another country, they have >> two [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > What country doesn't accept cats?
