Hello!

I am currently living in South Korea and will be moving back to the US at the end of the month. I am planning on bringing my cat Yuki back with me. We've confirmed with the airline that he can ride in the cabin with us, and just got back from the vet where we made sure he was all up to date and healthy for flying. I'm worried about him though, he doesn't like driving in the car and is very vocal. The vet gave us Calmex to give him during the flight. Have any of you ever used this? Do you have any other tips for reducing his stress on the flight? Thanks so much for any tips or advice!

I suggest you goole it, there are mixed reviews.  Another possibility that many people use is RescueRemedy, although i've never personally used it.  Whatever i used, i would try it on the cat before flying to make sure it didn't have a negative effect.

Line the carrier with weewee pads, bring baby wipes to assist with accidents.

Thank you! I've seen the mixed reviews online, I was just wondering if anyone on here had tried it. I'll definitely see how he reacts to it before we fly with him and I'll look for RescueRemedy. 

Thanks for the tips!
