Not sure where else to ask this question, but I bought a Kitten in China last year, where I'm currently living. I will be flying from Shanghai to Toronto this January with the cat where I will leave her with family permanently, seeing how China is not the best place for a cat and I travel too often.
I'm flying Air Canada and allowed to bring the cat in-cabin under the seat in a soft carrier. I will have all the paper-work/health checks so now worries there.
The flight is 15 hours, not including the time waiting at the airport. My cat meows a lot when in her carrier so I'm worried she will meow the whole flight and drive the passengers crazy. Any tips whether I should sedate? And also can she hold her bladder for 15+ hours? I can't take her out of the carrier once we're in the air so I'm also not sure how I will feed her either or if she can just go without eating?
I can't check her into cargo because it's January and not temperature controlled so in-cabin is the only option. And surprisingly it was only $100 for her ticket; the price of an over-sized bag! thanks!
