Cat in plane

Has any got any experience with taking a cat in an airplane. Do they freak
out from the loud noise. Do they have problems with the change in altitude?


We have high strung Siamese (2) and our son has 2. We exchange them back
and forth on a 1.5 hr flight often. Always in carriers. They usually
drool big time. Towel gets wet back there.

One time we had a 10 week old kitten on the flight and decided to let it
out of the cage for holding and petting. All fine UNTIL it looked out
the window. Went nuts, tail puffed up, and hissed and paced. After that
flight, it does fine with no interest in looking.

Always use a carrier. No altitude or noise effects (plane noise that is,
lots of cat noises). We cover the carriers up with old blankets unless
it is hot.
