I'll deffinatly look into those pads I've actually seen them over here too I think. But If I can't find them I can always ask my brother in law to send me some for her.

What I meant by treating cats poorly was because the other poster said that he would pay more for his cat to be handeled by professionals and I thought it was fine for them to travel as cargo with the flight companies. It's not too bad actually. It's an 8 hour flight across and then a 2 hour flight down but I think we may have 3 hours inbetween flights.

I'll see how things go, we have a lot of money to save up for our big move so I'm glad to know I can get her over there for under £1000. I just hope she travels ok.

Elbie (the cat) ended up going to the toilet in his cage - I can't blame him, it was 18 hours he was in there - and while there was an odor, he himself was not wet. Dryfur pads come in different color coded sizes and the blue ones fit the Small Vari Kennel very well.
