Ivana Franco says she and Dexter are off to Texas soon. It will be Dexter’s first flight, so Ivana said she read the post how to fly with a cat and got some helpful information.

Dexter, Ivana Franco’s cat

She wants to make sure Dexter is comfortable and won’t freak out!
So Ivana emailed my kitty care with questions about flying with a Bengal cat – here’s part of my kitty care’s response

It does seem better to use the soft “Sherpa” style cat carrier when your cat travels under your seat, as apposed to a hard cage, which you’d need for cargo (TO BE AVOIDED!) and like The Scratching Post recommends: bring a tape measure. As for wheeled carriers, that has not been investigated. We thought about placing the carrier on a portable two wheeled cart, but we believe walking around the airport, or sitting holding the carrier so that your cat can see and feel you helps keep them calm. Another tip is if you have room in the carrier, a small towel inside it so that your cat an bury themselves and feel safe may help. Thanks for asking about wheeled carriers, though, we will investigate and a post about that will be published at some point.

Good luck Dexter and Ivana, and safe travels. My kitty care looks forward to hearing how you both do with your flight.

Smiling Dexter, Ivana Franco’s cat

Dexter! You must be smiling because you live with Ivana who loves you so much.

thanks Ivana
