    I found your video because i have two scaredy cats but I know Bengals are quite vocal. To hear they didn't make too much noise during the flight was reassuring. 3 hours of meowing wouldn't be fun. Thanks for this!

    This is very helpful, soon to travel with my cat in a 7 hour flight, I have been harness training him, he uses his carrier all the time but when I take him on short car rides, he freaks and screens all the way, I am really nervous but hope for the best. Thanks a lot ❤️

    Your video about traveling with cats on an airplane was thorough & an eye opener! I’ve two spayed indoor female short hair cats. One is three years old by the name of Bambolina, & the other is two years old by the name of Valentina. I’m a retired Teacher originally from Italy, but have lived in USA from the age of 13. Lately, I’ve been seriously considering moving back to Italy 🇮🇹 for many reasons. My felines are my life, & after having viewed your video I’m not sure I would want to put them through the dramatic travel ordeal. Having said that, I could never in a million years re-home them! I own my own home, & my fur babies spend their days on the enclosed pet screened deck! Conversely, they have never been outdoors. Thank you!

    Sooooo many helpful tools mentioned here! I 💯 appreciate your time creating this video💕 I am considering an international relocation from California to Mexico, and the very stressful element of flying there is how to do it with my kitty! Thank you for appreciating that cats are unique. A lot of the flying with pets videos are really more geared towards dogs and not that relevant to cats. Again, thank you so much. I think I could actually do this. 😊

    Hello! I’m travelling with two cats as well. My cats love the carrier to the point that they sleep during the day inside, but the moment I close the door they start getting anxious and nervous.

    That's fair, and unfortunately that's how my cats were too, since they knew a closed carrier meant we're going somewhere. You'll just have to keep talking to them and putting your hand inside to pet them when you can, or whatever else you think will help

    I will be going on an 18 hour intercontinental flight with my two cats at the end of this month and I'm super stressed out and worried about how they'll do. I really hope all goes well and I can't wait to be on the other side of the world with them, safe and sound. Thank you for your video! I'm definitely going to use some of your tips, particularly the tips about the harness and getting them used to the carrier. It's going to be a huge challenge and adventure to say the least.

    In a month or two I’m about to fly from the uk to Canada with two extremely anxious cats, I’m still to speak to my vet about medication but I think it will be a must for them. Especially one who no matter what always has an accident when we are taking her places. We have tried not feeding her but she will either poo or just vomit either way. I’m hoping sedatives can keep her more at ease and that she can just sleep through the flight.

    Thankyou for a very helpful video. My Juni (she's the avatar photo) is a Savanah who travels well in the car, is quite sociable (most of the time) yet can be very unpredictable with the wild cat strain in her. She loves getting in her back pack when we go shopping, walking or to restaurants that will accept us. Hopefully her breed is acceptable to the airlines.

She can get mad at me, almost like a human, but the love in her expressive eyes is wonderful. I'm trying to put together a flight from Boise to Aberdeen, S.D. and I won't go if she can't. If I leave just overnight, she can get very depressed and I can't stand that. She's my little darling, "spicy" as she is.

My two are just the same- sad when we leave the house. We only take day trips away from them, never nights! If you're up for it, get a second cat to keep yours company. Almost the exact same amount of effort, twice the reward 😉

    Hi it was a great video very informative. i also have two cats that will be flying with me, I’ve done extensive research to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. I just have one more thing weighing on me. I bought harnesses for my cats but im worried they will set off the metal detectors at TSA and i will have to remove them? Were your harnesses made out of plastic ?

    Hi, thanks for the tips. You mentioned buying a 3rd ticket for your cats. Did you have to pay regular flight ticket price, plus $125 cat ticket fee? Or does $125 cover the cat seat? And a silly, but important question, for longer flights (say 10 hours +), how do we deal with the cat's pees and poops on the flight? It's difficult to prevent them from using the bathroom for a long journey, and if they do pee and poop inside their carrier, it'll stink and the passengers around are gonna complain, LOL.

  • @EshiJay

    @EshiJay

    10 ай бұрын

    Yup regular flight price (except we used points so cheaper) plus cat fee. For using bathroom during long flights, I'd say bring that travel litter case with you and maybe try to get the cat to use in the bathroom? Otherwise, make sure to bring all those clean up supplies. Maybe a potty pad for inside the crate in case of accidents

    I would definitely recommend not putting them in baggage, I have heard horror stories about animals who end up in the baggage compartments!! They can be traumatized by how they're flung around in there, or worse, die from those experiences. I would reach out to animal rescues like Orphan Kitten Club, KittenxLady, or any others, because they may have more resources for you.

We took them on a drive to the vet for the first time and they peed and were so scared 😭. I love my babies and I want them to feel as comfy as they can. They don’t really have any single toys that they like. Any ideas?
