Does anyone have any experience transporting a cat in a carrier in their airplane?   I have no knowledge as to whether the noise level would be detrimental to a cat?  The options for the cat are a 3.5 hour car ride in a carrier or a 45 minute plane ride in a carrier.  Would appreciate feedback.

I would tape the ears down and put in Carrier.



I made the mistake of letting one out in my suburban. It pissed the seat. I tried everything imaginable to get rid of the odor to include replacing the seat cushion recovering the seat. But the urine got into the steel frame. I sold the suburban.



You could also consider covering up the carrier and putting it far away from the engine.



Just thoughts.

What about supergluing its feet to the fuselage and letting it ride outside?

Yep, cat in car,  pissed on the carpet, never again was able to get rid of the smell.  It would destroy airplane value if this happens in a plane.

Valium or Zoloff.  Of course, with Zoloff the creature may commit
homicide, suicide or both.

I did not know a domestic cat could scream loud enough to hurt it's hearing. ;)

First you need to be very selective about the cat.  Our hangar cat, Conway

Kitty, thought he was a dog.  He wanted to be where the action was and would

follow you around like a puppy.  When we played Volleyball he would chase

balls, liked to play hide the cat and then would jump up to scare you.  He

was fine in the truck (never did any flying) and was only backed down by a

Great Dane.  I still have the scars where he climbed up my head.  I really

miss that cat.

Dennis,

While the mental image of your cat's face in a 200-mph wind may seem hilarious, there might be a better option than super glue. Dramamine is an effective palliative against motion sickness. It also happens to be a great sedative, and safe for cats.

If the kitty does well in a car it will probably do well in the plane too. Put it in a plastic carrier with a towel on the floor so an  "accident" won't leak out.



Do not let it out of the carrier under any circumstances (safety of flight issue). Stay below 12000 ft unless pressurized. Don't worry about its ears. They'll be ok with infrequent, short exposures to noise.
