Hello everyone. In about 3 weeks, I am moving from Tulsa to the San Francisco area..and we are flying with my beloved kitty, Rudy. I would LOVE any suggestions, about carriers, care, and basically anything that might help me. He is 10 years old, I am 70, and my daughter will be flying with us..I am moving back to California...so this is a LONG flight..and a 2 hour drive to the town I am moving to, after the plane lands.
I have a Sherpa carrier now, but want to get him one that he might b able to move around in better...and my airline choices are American, Southwest, and DELTA. He will be in/under the seat WITH me...15 years ago I moved to Tulsa, and flew on American, with my former kitty...and it went very well, but there wasn,t a 2 hour drive after the flight..and yes, I have to change planes. Any advice you can give me will be much appreciated. American has the most room in/under the seats...and although my vet will give me secitives for him, I prefer NOT to medicate him. I was also thinking about getting him a VEST harness I saw,which wraps around the torso and front legs, then attaches to a leash..NOT the neck, for when we might try to have him urinate during the lay over, and after the flight, by bringing cardboard litter pans, etc. so he doesn,t run away. I apologize for the length of this post. I would do ANYTHING for Rudy...and want him to be as comfortable as possible. Thank you in advance.
