Hey everyone, just letting you know we just came back from our getaway with friends and the kitten did FINE! She was a little upset on the train for a bit but loved our cottage and after a few hours also liked our friends' pets. I was worried for nothing (of course as always!). We had a really good time and I'm glad my husband organized it as a b-day surprise.
Hooray! I'm glad your kitty (and you!) had a good time!!
My experience has been that the more you travel with your cat, the easier it gets. Ours have been traveling since they were 4 months old, and now they only seem troubled by take-off/landing.
