Hello,
This is not certain yet, but there is a possibility that i'll have to move internationally in 2 years, i know it's too munch in advance that i'm worrying but just to be on the safe side and want to know if any of you have had any experiences about moving abroad with pets, specifically with cats, is it possible or absolutely cruel?
I would be moving from Mexico to Japan. I live just across the border from US and there are no direct fight from my city to Japan. So the options are to flight to another city in Mexico then catch another flight to japan, or flight to the US then catch another flight (which is also cheaper). This means... it would be a looooong trip, 3 hours prior flight at airport for check in, luggage drop, security, maybe extra time because traveling with a pet, 4 hours of flight, then layover time, then a 10 hours flight... this could easily be a 20+ hours journey. The longest trip she has experienced yet is to the vet, which is 10 minutes away.
i would absolutely love to have my dear cat with me and it would break my heart if I have to give her up, but i'll choose what's best for her. I've been doing a bit of online research but I wanted to read personal experiences you had, airlines recommendations, travel essentials, requirements per country, how did your cat take it, etc.
Thanks,
