Flying High….

My husband recently brought to my attention an article he’d seen online about a cat who had made their way onto an aeroplane last year and managed to stow away undetected until they caused so much disruption in the cockpit that the pilot was forced to turn the plane around. The cat in question was believed to be feral and was described as “aggressive and angry,” which given the circumstances seems a pretty fair reaction. Suddenly finding themselves enclosed with numerous humans and no escape must’ve been extremely distressing.

Obviously, when people travel with their cats they aren’t free roaming in the aeroplane. But they are likely to feel anxious, as it’s far from the norm for them. With this in mind, I sourced a list of tips compiled by a veterinary practice to help with keeping cats calmer. You can find their advice here:

Hoping if it’s needed, your cat has happy travels.
