The worst part about flying with cats is that they make you physically
remove the cat from it's carrier to inspect the carrier. It's very easy to lose
a panicked cat this way. Make sure you cat is wearing a TIGHT NON-Stretchable
NON-Safety collar or inescapable harness and a leash, and tie the leash to your
arm, then put the cat in the carrier and close the leash in the door, this way
when you have to remove the cat, it cannot get away from you.
You should also be aware that airlines have killed, injured, and lost
pets being shipped in cargo. Never ship a pet in cargo! http://ucat.us/airline-loss-reports.html
Personally, I think flying a pet is too stressful in general, and would
never subject any of my cats to it, but I know sometimes it's the only way. Just
be aware of the stress and try to minimize it as much as you can (esp important
for FELV+ cats).
