Question by comfortably numb: How do I travel with Fluffy?
I am going to be going away over the spring and summer and it will be necessary to take my 6 year old cat w/ me, the car ride will be about 4-5 hours. Should I keep him in a pet carrier, or let him just sit in the passenger seat? What about him eating and going to the bathroom, can he hold it that long if he is in a carrier? Any tips are very much appreciated!

Keep him in the carrier for your safety and his. Do not feed him before traveling. Keep a litter pan in the car and if you stop for lunch/dinner for more then 1/2 hr, then let him out to stretch, use the pan and give him a small meal or drink of water.

I show cats and they are fine travelling for 4-5 hrs to a show without eating. They eat when we get to the show.

Question by Dixie: Having difficulties finding a pet carrier that my cat can be comfy in but still fit under airplane seats. HEL?
I have a couple of carriers that they are comfortable in, but they are too big to fit under the seat…have two cats…need two carriers…one cat is 12 lbs and the other is close to 15 lbs…does anybody know of a carrier that would be big enough for each cat but still small enough to fit under the seat?

This is what I have now…trying to find something similar to this (love the quality and sturdiness of this)

Question by Mishe K: Is it safe to bring a cat on an airplane?
I am planning on studying abroad for a semester in Spain and I can’t bear to part with my cat for a whole semester, having her think I’ve abandoned her.

I intend to have a pet carrier that will fit under my seat so the cat won’t be stored in cargo.

But are there any further risks that could compromise the safety of my pet? Can smaller animals handle high altitudes as well as humans?
Kitty is 15 years old, but doesn’t appear to have arthritis or anything like that.

Answer by Cat
Make sure the airlines will let you store her under your seat first of all. You might have to buy a separate pet ticket for her if you don’t want her to be put in the cargo hold, which is bad. Besides that, altitude wise she should be fine.

* Middle Seat: 19″L x 19″W x 8.25″H
* Aisle Seat: 19″L x 14″W x 8.25″H

Petco or Petsmart is the best place I’ve always found pet carriers. If you’re looking for something cheaper you might be able to find something in the newspaper or on Craigslist
