Heh, I'd be more inclined to take the sedative myself and let the little one be! ;)
In all seriousness, the little guy should be okay without it...I picked up our Marvin (FeLV+ Siamese) in New Jersey and flew him back to Houston with me in the cabin...other than the strange looks from passengers wondering where that soft (or not so soft if you've ever had a Siamese ;) ) "meow" was coming from, we didn't run into any issues...Even taking him out of the carrier for the metal detector, he clung to me like there was no tomorrow! I also had one of those soft-sided carriers with flaps to cover the sides in case the outside world got to be too much...but Marvie did just great! **************************************************** "But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
