I have taken one of my cats on long car rides but never flown with him. It's hard to predict how "Fluffy" might react to a new traveling experience, even if he/she has travelled before. The more one knows ahead of time, the better prepared one can be. Really some excellent info and advice. I have taken one of my cats on long car rides but never flown with him.

Especially the bell, my Ellie has a very quiet meow and is very easily interested in new surroundings. Some really good points.

I won't let him fly on a plane with me due to his peke faced nose and appearance. He would probably have breathing problems in an airplane, so I take him on the road instead with me when I travel.

A few years ago I had them all micro-chipped, because accidents can happen, and I want to make every effort to safeguard all of my family members any way I can. Another thing I find useful is training my catZ to walk with a harness leash. If we have to make a quick visit to the vet's office, it's easy to use either a crate or a leash, without getting anyone all outta-whack. Plus, I enjoy the attention we get when people see and react to us! Our pets depend on us to take care of them - be responsible!
