first, make sure the airline you are taking allows cats on board. take 2 bottles of water with NO ADDED minerals or anything. if it makes it simpler for you, just draw some water from your faucet and store it in an empty water bottle. these 2 bottles of water are to be used for your cat's drinking supply, your cat may only need one, but take an extra just incase the first one spills or something. take along his food, his food bowl, and his water bowl. you need a cat carrier approved by the airline. before you get on the plane, make sure your cat is tired, so he can sleep on the plane. do this by tiring him out, play with him a lot before you get to the airport.

your cat will probably be scared, and confused, because he's probably never been to an airport before, so dont scold when he expresses scared feelings.

I'm assuming that your 2-hour flight destination is unreachable by car, so you have no other choice for your pet.

Some airlines will let you take small pets (generally under 25 pounds) on a carry-on that can fit under the seat.

It is a good idea to give your pet a vet-prescribed tranquilizer (human tranquilizers may not work on pets, and some may be outright dangerous to pets).

If your pet is used to car travel, it should be able to deal with flying, except for the ear-popping (have some kibble or liquid ready to feed the pet, so that it can swallow, and restore its hearing). If your pet is not used to car travel, take it on a few short trips to see what it will do (two of my dogs loved to travel by car, but one hated every second of it! None were put on planes, though).

I've seen some pets who were severely dehydrated after their travel with the rest of the baggage; and, I've seen some that weathered it quite nicely. Of course, I've also heard of a few deaths.

Although the link, below, advises against such, it also offers some tips and links to various airlines' pet-based webpages.

Good luck to you and your pet!

P.S. You might think that you're question's "lingo" is "cool" or "def" or whatever you kids call it these days, but many people won't bother to answer questions, if they deem the question to be unintelligible (can't imagine what they must think of the author!). The only reason I responded was because you spelled "weird" correctly! Consider using complete, proper English, next time, okay? :)

the very undeniable fact which you're purposely agitating this undesirable cat and then giggling at it shows you're actually not the main to blame puppy proprietor. I many times refrain from judging without understanding all the data, yet you published a video in which you're tormenting a unwell animal. Do you like him in any respect? Your cat likely has the two a UTI/bladder an infection or he's blocked up and can't bypass a classic bowel circulation - that would properly be deadly in case you are not getting him taken care of ASAP... If he isn't passing urine or feces oftentimes, his device will in the present day grow to be septic and he will bypass into marvel and die a sluggish, painful dying as his own waste poisons his device. quit tormenting him and get him to a vet. in case you may not have the money for it, take him to a glance after the place he can the two be surrendered and taken care of or humanely euthanized. you do not deserve this variety of captivating animal. in the experience that your rear end harm, could you savour somebody getting into the bathing room with a video digicam to poke and harass you and giggle at you? develop up and take duty for this helpless animal!

they will be a bit freaked out after the flight; nothing permanent. You might want to drug them before the plane; this reduces stress and anxiety. Your vet might be able to give you some. Good Luck!

I have read about pets dying in cargo holds due to the thin air. You might consider buying a ticket for them and taking them on-board in a travel carrier you can strap into the seat next to you. Talk to their vet about a anti-anxiety medication for them.

Yeah, well, the cat'll be scared 'cause they've got like 15x more precise hearing than humans, and it's already really loud on the airplane. Just make sure you comfort him/her...
