Default Relocating cat

I need to ship my cat from Seattle to WA DC. I'm having problems
finding any but the barest information on how to make this as
comfortable as possible for the cat. Can anyone provide tips or point
me to a website/newsgroup that might help.
TIA

Are you flying or driving? If flying, the airlines have dramatically
improved the handling of animals. It's no longer a great concern. If you
give us a few more details about your cat's trip, we might be able to help
you more.

Sorry, I just assume everyone knows she is flying. I'm hoping to get
her on a nonstop flight but she is traveling alone as cargo(?). My son
will deliver her at the Seattle end and I will pick her up at this end
(National hopefully). She's not a happy traveler - she gets very
nervous. Tried a sedative once but it didn't seem to help. She's a
small cat and I hesitate to give her drugs although hopefully the
kitty pheremones she's been on for the past few months will help. Any
info you can provide will be a great help

Shipped a cat from London to Melbourne 28 hour flight plus 6 months
quarantine and then back Melbourne to London 28 hour flight plus 3
months in quarantine. The cat survived, she didn't like it mind, having
said that they are tough, no sweat. It will be the rehousing that is
more important than the temporary discomfort of the transit. Besides if
I could get as much space as a cat in a box on my tube ride to work I'd
be a happy bunny...

If at all possible, make arrangements for you to fly - with your cat. Do not
have the cat in cargo ..no exceptions.

Luvkats, it's not as bad as it used to be. I believe they pressurize the
cargo hold now just because of the animals. The airlines have been sued too
many times over the years due to their negligence.
