If you do an advanced search through the Australia forums there are absolutely loads of posts on pet transport. Its well worth reading Toby's story - it will explain the Australian Air Express signature that a lot of people have now - absolutely awful and did make us think (and others) long and hard about taking our boys.

Professional Princess used to work as a vet nurse (PP, sorry if I've got it wrong and you still do) and she had some very good pointers for export companies.

Border collies tend to be very sociable with people. Love it that he'll go for rotties but scared of sheep

We had him from a kitten so it's made it even harder.

I feel for you too Dave, we had 4 Siamese, 2 of which we bred, and it was heart renching having to re-home them, but we took our time to find the right home and found a couple of super people who totally understood what we were going through.

Now nearly 2 years on, we get regular pics and updates which is great.
But it was definately the right descision as it would've been far too stressful for them.

I'm guessing it's early days since yours went?
That empty stomach churning feeling will eventually subside and you will know you have done the right thing, only you know what your own cats could and couldn't cope with.

All cats have their own special personalities and if and when you decide to get another you will love all it's little idiosyncrasies, they are all different, but you will also have some laughs over updates from your cats in England

Have a look at this forum - tells you everything you need to know about Bengals - but they are a handful. Still wouldn't be without them.

http://www.bengalcatforums.com/forums/
Another breed that comes to mind is the Devon Rex...Total nutters too!

We nearly bred them instead of Siamese, but when we saw how naughty they could be i.e. running up you back and curtains and generally hyper, we decided that it wasn't such a good idea
But they certainly have bags of personality and the softest fur you could imagine.

The other alternative is the Cornish Rex or Burmese as they are 'slightly' calmer.
Be wary of the tortie Burmese though, known as 'Naughty Torties', ours used to be like a naughty child and would answer back if you told her off.
But Burmese are very much 'people' cats.
