We have lots of time to prepare, but it is official that we are making a cross country move. Our boy, Howie, is a big boy. 20lbs of big boy... Its not just that he is fat (he is fat), but he's also long and tall. The vet says his ideal weight would be around 15 or 16lbs.
Anyways, he's a very nervous traveler and a three hour flight is much preferred over a 20hr drive. We will not put him in the cargo though, he has to ride in the cabin. Every airline carrier that I've seen for "big cats" is for up to 13lbs....are you kidding??? That's not a big cat!
Does anybody have experience flying with a hefty cat? What carrier do you suggest? Did you have trouble with the size restrictions?
