I am flying south for several months and of course that means taking Mr. Wiskers with me on the plane. He is an older cat, 14 yrs, with the sweetest temperment. However, I must say he is headstrong and used to getting his own way. This will not be possible on the flight, since it seems that the airlines no longer allow even ESA (emotional support animals) to sit on the lap of the traveller. Apparently, the cat must stay in its carrier under the seat throughout the flight. I already have several carriers, some soft sided and some hard. I can only carry him in the cabin, because I will be flying in November and the airlines don't allow animals in the baggage area during the winter months. My problem is to choose one that will fit under the seat. I have a "Space capsule Bubble" pack, but I think the smaller hard sided one would be his favorite (he's used it before), but what if it does not fit under the seat?
Has anyone recently travelled with a cat on Air Canada, what should I do? Any advice, I'm very worried about this. What about the Benedryl thing that I read in another thread. How much can I safely give him. He will be in the crate for four hours and he hates it for longer than two minutes. He IS going to keep meowing at me to let him out, so I'm thinking of covering the crate with a cloth so that he can't see me to make demands. Is that ok?
