"But I've Heard It's Dangerous!": Tips And Tricks For Taking Your Cat On A Long Plane Ride

Moving can be stressful, especially if it involves taking children (or fur babies, in this case) on a long trip. Plane rides, proper documentation, and the stress of how your animal will be treated on a plane are all valid things to be worried about, but is it too much stress for one cat? This Redditor is debating rehoming her cat instead of taking her with her on her international move in a few months. We can tell she only wants the best for her cat, and some people have warned her of the dangers of traveling with pets on airplanes (and we're not talking about the infamous, yet adorable, airplane ears).

Luckily, the internet has chimed in and helped convince her otherwise. This post should be helpful for anyone thinking about moving internationally with their pets because all of the information out there can be confusing and anxiety-provoking. A few stressful hours on a plane are much better than the stress of being re-homed, and your cool cat will thank you for it once it gets used to its new environment.
