Seasoned Traveler by Weezilou

Seasoned Traveler

That's "Patsy" Cat, escorting her Person back to Dallas. Didn't I sit upright when Ken pointed out a cat across the aisle, not drugged, but happy to sit on Mom's lap. I asked for the photo to share as it's not every trip I get to see our littlest travelers. As we deplaned, I asked her name, and was also told she always traveled with them.

Don't anyone tell Tigger about his missed opportunity!
Such a nice happy capture Fav

Wow, I'm surprised the airline let her have the cat out of a carrier!

@lynnz *I* wasn't going to tell! Now if *someone* had complained, they might have put the kibosh on it...

Two beauties on one capture.

@pyrrhula Indeed, Ferry...she was so sweet, and had a lovely smile. Always nice to strike up conversations with fellow travelers!

@Weezilou If I`ve to take her when I want the cat I accept. Ha ha. Now adays it`s very difficult. Many times when I travel by train, they all are busy with there smartphone`s

Wow I can't believe the cat was out oh her box! Amazing! Poor Tigger I hope he doesn't find out! Fav!

How wonderful Patsy is allowed to travel "first class" rather than in the cargo hold!! As for Tigger.......I hope he doesn't see this photo :)
May 27th, 2017  
That is a sight to see.
May 27th, 2017  
How sweet and fun. I've never seen that, very amazing really. She must fly a lot, the kitty looks perfectly happy with the situation!
May 27th, 2017  
Oh nice to see the cat is enjoying the trip!
May 28th, 2017  
Cute shot :)
May 28th, 2017  
Goodness me! Never seen that before.........I won't tell Tigger....
May 28th, 2017  
Wow! That's amazing! I think it's just perfect that you happened to be on a flight with a cat sitting up on her Mom's lap! Makes me smile just thinking about it! Peaceable Kingdom in the air! :-)

I'm surprised that the cat was allowed in the cabin. I don't imagine that many airlines would permit this :)

My word, what's next?
May 28th, 2017  
Incredible. Cats usually don't even like cars, must less planes. What a privileged kitty.

OMG, round here you'd be turfed off in an instant if you tried to board with an animal. Seeing animals in shops and on public transport in Europe was quite an eye-opener for me. Only guide-dogs get that privilege in Oz.

@lynnz @pamknowler @gilbertwood @littleconnie @louannwarren @radiogirl @casablanca @gaylewood @merrelyn @leananiemand @aglennc @golftragic Many US airlines will allow cats and small dogs (both in carriers) on with their owners in limited numbers and for a price. Last summer we'd thought about bringing home a cat we'd been caring for, and the ticket price was $75. I think they are "supposed" to remain in the carriers, but no one complained, and the cat was 100% well-behaved. When she wasn't on her mom's lap, she was curled up in the open carrier at her feet. I have friends who take their cat sailing on their boat, and the cat seems to love it, so why not plane travel, too?! ...It was interesting to hear from each of you as to what would or wouldn't be allowed around the world!

@Weezilou One of the things I enjoy about 365 is hearing about other countries' laws, culture and customs.

Cute capture! I envy her that her cat doesn't mind traveling. A friend of mine always flies with her dachshund .

There is no way we would put our dogs in the "cargo" area of a plane, and they are just barely too big, at least Bradley -- not sure about Bailey -- to go under the seat. Besides, when we fly we are headed for a cruise or travel where they wouldn't work for us. However, they adore the car and motorhome travel. (Bradley has been in exactly half the US states as well as all the Maritime and Atlantic provinces, and the three most western provinces...... a well traveled little guy! Bailey has been in several states and two Canadian provinces, and they'll be back in Alberta in about two months!!) What papers would you have had to have to bring a kitty from Canada to the US? All we need to take our dogs across the border is their updated shot record -- and as many times as we have come and gone across the USCanada border with dogs -- we have NEVER been asked to show them..... But if we didn't have them........)

Wonderful capture. No pets are allowed in flights here I think.
