Hi

Has anyone brought in a cat recently? I would like to connect with someone who can walk me through the process - I have bits and peices of information but not a clear picture of what is required from the documents to clearing customs.

I leave for Jeddah next month so any help or info please!

Thanks

Do not import any more cats. We have hundreds of feral cats on campus, desperate for human company and food. Do us a favour and take some of ours !

Cats who are ''desperate for human company''. That's a first for me, Scotty. I used to feed cats on my compound in Riyadh but I doubt it was my company they wanted. Cats are mercenary little *beep*. Get a dog, Scotty. Man's best friend.

Suprisingly for some, Saudi Arabian Airlines is a very pet friendly airline.
Check the requirements on their website. A friend of mine was able to have both of his cats in the passenger compartment due to poor ventilation in the cargo storage area.

Usually a health certificate is required indicating that all vaccinations are up-to-date in addition to micro-chipping.

You might also want to Google some of the Pet Relocation sites on the web and search by country for specific requirements.

The Golfing Sheikh has spent too long in the company of "Hispanyoles". He is unable to recognise IRONY. The Sun would call it "Taking The P#SS"

I would no more think of feeding a cat than I would of going for a walk with a collection of curved sticks and a handful of small white balls. I may be eccentric but I am not insane - yet.

Scotty, the game played with ''curved sticks'' is called HOCKEY. We golfers use ''clubs'' and they're straight! I'm surprised to hear that you are a Sun reader. I had you down as a ''Guardian'' man.
BTW, why don't you try the ''gowf''. It's catching on among the Gulf citizens and KSA has a very promising young player called Othman. I'm sure you'd look great on the links in plus-fours and tartan bunnet.
Regards
SR
