Taking a cat to Oz? Advice please.....
Hi,
I have had my moggy for 11 years now. I got him from a rescue centre and they were unsure of his exact age, they just said he was an adult cat!
So, bearing in mind he could be anywhere between 13 & ? would I be wise putting him through the trip to Perth?
He is very healthy and never had any problems. I have actually talked to somebody who will give him a very good home here but I really love this cat and would find it very hard letting go, but I want to do whats right for him.
So, any advice please ........

Hi,
We were in the same situation 2 1/2 years ago when we relocated to the Caribbean. Our cat was about the same age and had a similar background (very loyal, but extremely neurotic!). We decided to bring her because we knew she would pine without us, and the chances anyhow of getting a home for her were slim.
So 2 1/2 years on, and she is still going strong. The flight was only 8.5 hours, but she flew on the same plane as us, in the hold. We didn't sedate her, as it was not recommended unless completely necessary, and she took the whole thing in her stride, looking out of her box at Gatwick airport with undisguised curiousity!
So now she's 14 years old, and looking forward to emigrating to Oz.
Hope your move goes well.
