T__T Nooo, I have a feeling I won't be able to bring my cat with me. He's okay with cars, but I'm 100% sure that if he's not asleep he'd be scared to death inside the plane.
Did your cat howled throughout the whole trip? Poor kitty!

I think she mostly stopped after a couple of hours, but I made the trip with her several times (between college & home) and she always hated it. 😔

I have two dogs and a cat (though technically none of them are mine; they're my dad's, mom's and grandparents'). I used to have a husky, but she died... ;_;

I've had a lot of dogs but finally figured out i hate having to step in the crap around my farm. I've always had cats and i am so glad i have my cat now that i live in a barn best place to live by the way. The best and most loyal pet besides my cat i've ever had is my horse. Man's best friend is a dog ya right get a horse i don't know how many times i've almost died out in the woods and my horse has saved my life each time. I would have died along time ago if not for her.

Ahhhh, I used to have two horses, they were so cute! Their names were Honey and Velvet, and Velvet was really really sweet (that was my horse) but Honey, ironically, could be really mean x.x... I think her previous owners were cruel to her, though, so it's understandable. We treated her really well, though!!!

Dogs can be total pains sometimes.. especially mine.. they're so spoiled they think they should get their way all the time >:-( I've never owned a horse but we've held a few in our barn/stables for people.. but I definitely want to learn how to ride one.. I have no idea why I haven't done it yet 🙁

I don't know what i would have done if i didn't my horse best money i ever spent to only $600. my saddle was more expensive than my horse was. I've had her for 8 years now broke her myself to have all the scares and broken bones to prove it to. There are a great way to pick up women to.

Does any of your pets have like, really bizaree habits/pet peeves..? Like my youngest.. has a thing against feet... if your feet are within a foot of him.. he'll start a rumbling noise in his throat.. yet, I can like, rub him with mine and he's like whatever. Another thing is, he hates when people clip their nails.. he'll start barking and rip the nail clippers out of your hands. Really weird. And he has an obsession with toilet paper rolls.. not the toilet paper itself, just the cardboard roll/tube.. I couldn't tell you how many times I've come across a rolls of toilet paper, cause someone left a cabinet open, in complete form but missing the cardboard roll/tube in the center.

My 2nd dog just slides past my feet and licks them once as
she passes them, especially if my feet are wet.

I have a bird, more accurately a budgie, he's awesome. He flies freely around the house and shits everywhere, but we love him anyway.
He actually doesn't really act like a bird, he is too smart, because when we go away for a while and leave him alone home, he finds his candy (which we have hidden several times) and eats all of it instead of his ordinary food.
He's my best friend, when I sit infront of the computer writing on random forums, he flies in and keeps me company by eating my popcorn and drinking my soda. 🤣

my ferret has a thing against men.
if a male creature is spotted in his radar, it seems like his brain gives the order:"KILL! kill NOW!!! kill GOOD!!! kill him deeeaaaddddd!!!"...
it wasnt always like that, tho. he used to be in really good terms with one of my friends, but one day when he picked him up to clean his cage, the ferret bit a piece of his hand (ppl who raise ferrets will what a ferrets bite is like >_<") and after that the ferret refused to be touched by any males... then he began having a thing against females. long story short, right now, i am the only person he likes. he wont even let my mother touch him (i gave him to her for perret sitting while i was cleaning the cage after his bath, and 5 minuts later i get the "will you pls hurry up?! FYI this ferret does NOT like me!!" :haha 🙂

One of my kitties (Dallas, aka Evil Tex) used to randomly attack my ankles. This was not some normal pounce, claw/bite, retreat - he'd lock his front paws around my ankle & seriously BITE, hard enough to break the skin & draw blood through pants & socks. The only way to get him to let go was to grab him by the scruff of the neck AND bop him on the head a couple times. 🤢 That got old pretty fast, esp. since he'd do it about once a week, and cat bites take a while to heal. (Fortunately for him, he only ever attacked me, never the kids.)
Eventually I had the idea of getting him a buddy to play with, & that has worked almost perfectly. In the 5+ years since then he's only attacked me once or twice. 😀
