Just traveled with one last week. Was easy to register at the counter, was calm when I had to take him out of the carrier and go through security. Was smooth overall besides when I fell asleep on the flight and spilled my tomato juice on him.

Flew with mine a couple years ago when my husband and I moved, our cat doesn’t like to be held so going through security was a concern of mine. I requested a private screening room at PHL and TSA was very kind and accommodating. Sorry not sorry, but I headed straight for a family restroom after each leg of the flight where I let her out so she wasn’t all cooped up for the entirety of our travel day. I think that was a huge help, it allowed me to give her a snack, some water, and space to stretch out. I did give her a sedative from the vet, but if I did it again I don’t know that I would give it to her. We tested it a few days before the trip and she did fine, but during our travel, she did get sick in her carrier on the plane and I felt horrible I couldn’t immediately take her out and clean it. Every cat is different for sure though, just go with what your vet recommends. I used a bubble backpack carrier, this way she could see all around her if she wanted, and it opened up accordion style to give her more room when we were on the plane. Also sat very well atop a carry on suitcase! Hope this helps!

My cat was not happy but the children near us created a distraction and he was fine (he's a real drama king!)

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.
