Oh god! That's the fear with this whole process!
I've had my cat accompany me from Canada to Korea and back before, and didn't have any issues, but I'm still paranoid. |

Does shipping a cat not create a lot of stress for the cat?
I presume you have an indoor cat. I doubt you'd let your cat outdoors here in Korea unless you're living in a house in a small town. All the house cats that I've had or that friends have had were very attached to their territory - ie. their house/apartment. Whenever friends have moved them, they hate it and some try to escape from their new house. I've also seen a lot of house cats (or even outdoor cats) that freek out when they are put in a travel box for a short car ride. A lot of them seem to lose bowel control. It's often a mess when by the time you take them out of the box. I can only imagine the result of a a 10 hour flight.
Are animals fed and given water while on a flight or in waiting at the airport? |

Garfield managed to mail Nermal to Abu Dhabi. I think it's important to include the directions "Bend & Fold".

| I am seriously laughing out loud at this post. It's probably a serious thing for you, sorry, but thanks for the entertainment on this desk-warming day. |

I was told not to let it eat for a day before sending it or something so it wouldn't crap all over the kennel, which it would have to sit in. |
