[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I brought my elderly, ill cat on a transatlantic flight using the “support pet” angle when i was moving back to the US.  Nobody knew she was there, tucked under the seat in front of me.

I realize that size prevents it being an option for most dogs, but ones that can fit in a carrier should be in one and — at the very least — dogs should be muzzled and harnessed.  I don’t care if “he wouldn’t hurt a fly.”  I wouldn’t plunk my cat down next to a person and expect them to be happy.  Why do people expect it with dogs?[/quote]

Why didn't you just pay the fee to bring a small animal with you in the cabin?  Your cat doesn't have to be a "support pet."[/quote]

At the time, all animals traveling to/from the uk had to fly in the hold, but it was an American airline and honored the request.  So I did pay a fee ($250?).  It wasn’t about being cheap.  When we moved there several years before, she was in good health and flew in the hold as required.

I was under the impression that people would be pissed about any animal in the cabin (other than a legit service dog) whether it was a “support pet” or not.

She didn’t leave the carrier on the flight, and my family had the whole row — people were spared my cat and my child.
