I know people do it all the time, but is it really o.k. to fly an old enough kitten to where you live?
I might be getting a kitten from L.A. or Colorado. Either way, it'll be faster to just fly it here. And, I'm thinking the faster the less stress. People don't really enjoy flying (motion sickness, cramped up, scary people) so a kitten probably won't feel too good either.
Is there a way to make it easier on the kitten, and what do they ship them in? A real carrier or a cardboard carrier? Can you ask the breeder to send something that smells like home for the kitten? Should you take them out of the carrier to go potty in a litterbox in the car asap? I'm worrying ahead of myself, but it couldn't hurt to start planning now.
