supposed to just bring her or what. according to the airline's website, you just bring the cat, like a carry on or something. but i feel like that'd be a little weird. can we talk about our experiences flying with cats? i need her with me. she's my world. my everything. |

as magpie suggested keep it up your sleeve so you can deploy your cat if there's an emergency cuteness deficit

I did that once. Our cat was really nervous and wouldn't stop crying until the TSA guy wanted to check the carrier and we had to take the cat out. She took one look at the airport, clawed her way back in and hid under her blanket quietly for the whole flight. She was also traumatized for a few days.

I have flown with a cat. You need a specialized pet carrier for it. This is a carry-on piece of luggage designed to carry your cat. https://www.amazon.com/Sherpa-Delta-Deluxe-Carrier-Medium/dp/B000633ZOY/ That one will carry even a pretty big cat. You generally have to pay extra for toting a cat with you. Check with the airline. You will want to go to the vet and tell them you are taking the cat on a flight. They will prescribe you xanax for your cat. This may sound unnecessary but some cats loving HATE flying and will tear the container to pieces if they aren't medicated in some ways. This makes it less stressful for them and less stressful for you worrying about how bad the flight is traumatizing it. The last cat I flew with was a little anxious until the xanax kicked in then just slept through the whole flight. |

Put like a shirt you've worn or something in there with them too to just give them something comforting to smell. |

seems like a condom and a drug mule strategy would be cheaper but yours is def more humane

But if you got around these problems, maybe you'd figure out a better and safer way for everyone to transport their pets? Right now, even just the life support system would be a significant investment. I don't think anything like that currently exists outside of specialized spacefaring equipment. But I believe in you Luvcow! I'm sure you'll figure out a solution. |

joke_explainer posted:It's good brainstorming and I like thinking outside of the box. But I see five major issues. you may be right but perhaps it is a very small cat and perhaps human beings have made ludicrously large condoms joke_explainer posted:Cats require oxygen to breath, so you'd need to provide probably at a minimum 5 hours of breathable air supply for your cat and some method of scrubbing/storing CO2 from your cat. This additional life support pack would take up more room in the already overstuffed condom. ludicrously large condom may be able to handle breathing tech joke_explainer posted:The resultant package of Cat plus life support system would be too large to swallow. Most humans with a normal-sized esophagus aren't Tarrare and can't swallow a whole live cat. again you may be right but human beings continually amaze me at what they can accomplish (my example would be goatse) joke_explainer posted:Cats have teeth and many have claws. Condoms are generally made of latex, a material which doesn't handle sharp edges very well. The cat could very quickly penetrate the condom. carefully administered cat sleeping potion like the a-team used to do with mr. t's milk joke_explainer posted:Cats don't like having their freedom to move being limited. They tend to resist. So after they've torn through the condom, they may not realize they are doing damage to you. On an airplane you can be effectively medically stranded, and having a live cat tearing up your insides could be a very serious medical condition. see my mr. t example above i'm just spitballing here but i'm hoping the OP will oblige and maybe experiment with some of the ideas we've come up with here

If cat has a pilot's license, she can fly the plane and then nobody will be any the wiser.

The FBI came to my house because my cat got a pilot's license but he only learned how to take off. Once they saw he was a cat they left, because all cats know how to land safely. I probably shouldn't have named my cat Mohammed but I had to because he looks just like Mohammed.

If your cat is named Shoe Bomb? Yeah, you're probably going to want to change that name before you try and get him on the flight with you.

DO: have your cat review the emergency exit procedure if seated in an exit seat. DON'T: have your cat wear a keffiyeh |

consider shaving your cat, especially if their beard is getting long as the airlines like to racially profile exceptionally floofy cats
