I too have a 16 yr old who was meowing a lot. It turned out it was a bladder and ear problem. Once treated, she is much quieter even though she still cries for attention.
In 5 mos. i will be moving cross country. I will be flying with a nervous 16 yr old cat. My sister will be flying with a young 1 yr old puppy. They will be living together for the first time. I am nervous about the whole situation. Any
advice? It's really the flight I'm most worried about.
