Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics.

According to the video, when airport security was checking out the cat
carrier they left the side clips unlocked. They're supposed to be snapped
back down so the top won't come off, but they didn't do that. (Obviously
they aren't cat people!) And Ripples (the cat) had no idea what was going
on (it was his first plane trip) so when he saw his opportunity he bolted!
I don't blame him. LOL

Ripples cat slave said that was his last flight. I think they
eventually put him
in cargo. But Air Canada did send a rep to make sure he was O.K. on
arrival. Hope AC doesn't revert back o their previous policy of no
pets in cabin.

I never felt comfortable flying with my cat and never did. Poor Rusty
ended up boarding at the vet. With his health problems, I felt better
when
his vet was nearby. Anyway, he is roaming in RB now. No more cages
for him.

Oh I doubt they'll revert to that. But airport security personnel may get
some additional training in how small pet carriers work!

I hear what you're saying. I boarded Persia for a long time before finally
going to get her and driving her to South Carolina. I never once considered
taking her on a plane. I'd have to sedate her. There's no reason to
expect, being in a big noisy airport surrounded by lots of strangers hauling
luggage then being placed under a seat on an airplane, she'd be calm.
Chances are by then she'd have thrown up. I don't think they pay flight
attendants to deal with that. Frankly, I don't want to deal with it,
either. So, no plane rides for Persia
