"Ahem. I was lucky. My foster mom drove me to meet my
Forever Family so I didn't have to fly in one of those Scary Airthingees. Because I heard a sad sad story about a special
kitten who died after being left on the runway in what should
have been a climate controlled cargo hold. Mom and I cried.
So when we saw this information I said mom could post it
before I make her get off of the internet. I am stricter about
this than Da Boys because I am a Princess. If you have a
furfriend who needs to fly, please keep this information in mind!"
