Has anyone figured out how to do this without them or their human having a mental meltdown? I think I should fly with them to the east coast and then transfer them to a professional pet shipper. Logistically they have to be somewhere comfortable but safe from escape between flights. I don't get warm and fuzzies when I imagine trying to do this in a hotel. And yet, how would a shipper do better with fearful cats who need to be in their carriers in the morning? The shippers who were on the EP podcast said do not drug your pets but humans take sleeping pills for plane rides so I must be missing something. Is it that we are bigger and they are more vulnerable or is that no one is monitoring the cargo area?
