Cat in plane

The hair will compromise many of the critical systems in the plane. I
would only fly with one if it was put in a large zip-lock bag for the
duration of the flight:>)

Ours hates just riding in a car.

I'd be inclined to use a carrier, maybe covered with something that
will keep it dark but breathable.

I assume the purpose is to drop them at altitude to see if they really
do always land on their feet?

At least a dog loves you in return. What's the difference between a
stuffed dog and a cat? Both appear equally as loving.

Dogs suck up to you because they perceive you as the pack leader. Do
not confuse -kissing with love.

A cat bonds with a human as a mother substitute; not exactly true love,
but closer.

Dogs and women, you can't tell who the owner is without a license!

How many people keep sharks in their house as pets. I think you are
comparing apples and oranges.

Have you noticed that all cat haters you've met are people who were not
raised with cats as pets? I think this is because these folks simply do
not speak Cat, a language one must learn young, apparently. Thus they
misinterpret cat signals as hostility, aloofness, sneakiness, etc. I've
met only one person who came to like cats as an adult, and never met a
cat hater who was raised with them.

A cat is a project. It requires proper rearing to become a good pet.
Some people have the knack for it (it seems your family does), some
don't. The best pets usually happen when the animals are acquired very
young and handled with gentle discipline and love.

Exactly the same thing is true of dogs, of course, but one can get away
with ignoring the proper rearing of a cat with less dire consequences
than one suffers from a delinquent dog. Cats are lower maintenance than
dogs and thus tend to get ignored more often, resulting in the aloof,
shy animals that contribute to cats' reputation among non-cat people.

I'll bet if you'd been around them from infancy you wouldn't be
allergic. I believe there is evidence that exposure to allergens from
an early age--even prenatally--confers immunity.

What would you have done in the same situation?
