One thing that is true for all of us is that we want the best for our cats. No matter what. We take our cats to the vet even though they don't want to because we know that it's good for them. We don't give them every single thing that they want to eat because we know that some things are not good for them. We try our best to make sure that they are healthy and happy. But sometimes, you are faced with a difficult decision, like the person in this thread who decided to move to a different country and didn't know what to do about their cat.

We covered this story a month ago when it blew up for the first time. There was a whole debate about whether this person should take their cat on the flight or not and in which fashion to do it. Well, now, a month later, we are happy to say that although the trip wasn't the easiest one, it was well worth it.

    We know that it was not an easy decision to make, but we have to say that we are so happy you decided to take your cat with you. And we're incredibly happy that the flight went well and the cutie is already settling in and feeling better.

    We have always known that if we had to move with our cats in the same way - taking them on a plane for it, we would do it. But we have to admit that we were certainly afraid of this possibility. If this story did anything, it's convince us that it's indeed the right decision to take them with us, despite the potential difficulties.

    Organism - cheesecakecaramel OP. 8 hr. ago Yes! I took this picture at the airport, it's a litter box that you can fold so it doesn't take so much space in your bag. I also took with me 1kg of litter in a ziplock, it was enough for our flight. Reply Share 3.1k

    Font - 19 Antiochus_Sidetes - 7 hr. ago How did that work during the flight? I suppose you brought the cat with you to the bathroom and let her use the litter box there? 48 Reply Share

    Font - neolologist +1.6 hr. ago Is this a single seater bathroom or are you in a stall? Because I've done this with my cat on a leash, in a stall, and the cat kept trying to walk under the divider into the next stall to scare unsuspecting airport patrons. No one is expecting something furry to brush past their leg in an airport bathroom... 33 Reply Share

    Font - cheesecakecaramel OP. 7 hr. ago edited 6 hr. ago We stayed at an Airbnb for two weeks, she hated there. There was too much noise, it was not a good neighborhood (I didn't know that..). She was not sleeping well and she kept hiding. Staying at the Airbnb was harder than the flight. Now I have my apartment, and we're good, she's happy! Reply Share 321
