Default Flying cats

Tomorrow, my two purr-bags (feral Pandora, and His Royal Feline
Lordship Tiger) are off to the vet to get their final pre-flight
checks before flying from the USA to the UK on Wednesday. Whilst both
are experienced travellers & flyers, they are going to be entering the
UK on pet-passports which means they don't have to do 6 months
quarantine. To say the paperwork has been a nightmare is an
understatement!

Please could they (and me) have some good thoughts and wishes that
this goes well and we arrive safely in the UK without complications?

By the time we have finished, I suspect that they will have been to
more places, and have more airmiles than many humans! So far, they've
been to Belize, Houston, Dallas and Washington DC!

Thanks
Helen M

Safe journey to you all, Helen. Hope the cats and you go through the
flight with no adverse reactions. Purrs and prayers from us.
Jazz & his mama
P.S. Helen, do you still want me to tape Stargate for you?

This will be a big move. I can see why you would be apprehensive. Your
purr-bags will be in my thoughts and prayers for a safe journey without any
delays or cancellations. Rosie and Cinder send purrs and meatloaf
meditations for the world travelers.
Please be sure to let us know when they arrive and give them some skritches
from me.
Annie, accompanied by Cinder

Sorry, Helen. Somehow I read your message too fast and was under the
impression that your parents were sending the cats to you, not that you
would be traveling with them. So, I made a mistake in my prior message. Of
course I wish you a safe and uneventful trip as well.

Absolutely! I know you're already considered this, but be sure that
whoever drops them off at the airport waits until the plane actually
takes off. There have been an awful lot of flight delays in and out of
the US lately. My mom told me today of some folks who were flying from
Miami to Mexico City and their flight got delayed 14 hours!!!

Best of luck to the travel-savvy twosome!

Ooopsss.... I missed that too. Safe travel to the three of you!!! Would
you let us know the flight number? One can track such things online (I
use expedia.com), it has a little map that shows the actual position of
the plane... it would be fun to follow...

Purrs that the whole thing turns out to be rather boring if anything.

Admittedly the quarantine section on my Catpage is a little
out-of-date, but a nice article on your experiences getting cats from
the USA to UK under the Pet Passport scheme would be a welcome addition
thereto.
