Re: [MBZ] Way beyond OT: Flying with a grown, 18 lb. cat
He is a defanged black Bombay type cat, a virtual mini-panther, but very gentle. I don't expect him to get any larger. The airline's limit is on the size of the carry on bag - 18.5 L by 9.5 H They do not ship pets in the hold of their aircraft.

Re: [MBZ] Way beyond OT: Flying with a grown, 18 lb. cat
He can fly in an under the seat carrier, the dimensions of which you can get on the airlines' web sites. You can also find them in pet stores, too. I have flown with cats up to 12 lbs. in an under seat carrier, and while it was tight, they survived. 18 lbs. might be pushing it. Have done the crate in the cargo hold approach, too, but that's near impossible to do his time of year due to the temperatures.. While one might think the cat would be freaked out, according to animal behaviorists they like the close quarters, much as they would by hiding under a bed or piece of furniture, for example. Right. Be sure it's chipped and properly immunized before you go.

Re: [MBZ] Way beyond OT: Flying with a grown, 18 lb. cat
I transported a couple of cats in the cabin on Southwest in 2010 and there were no health check requirements. Their only thing is a limit of six pets in the cabin per flight. I have shipped animals as cargo, and in that case complete health checks must be provided with a minimum of seven days prior to the flight.

Speaking of shipping animals, I managed to be the third person in line behind a man mailing approx. 20 live racing pigeons at the USPS office last week. They were going to someplace in New Mexico.
