Flying R Kennel of Nixa, Mo.

I have been travelling with cats for the last three years on planes, trains & automobiles, so here’s my advice on taking your cat on a plane!

Step 1: Carriers
• You’ll want to pick a carrier your cats are comfortable with/in. Atlas prefers an expandable backpack.
• A few weeks before the trip, put the carrier out so they can get comfortable around it. This helps them associate the carrier with *ALARM*

Step 2: Tote Bag of Goodies
• A collapsible litterbox
• Large pee pads
• A water holder
• Hydrating treats
• Collapsible food bowl
• PLENTLY of wipes
• PLENTY of zip block bags
• Litter
• Plastic gloves

(I got all of these products from @chewy & Amaz0n!)

Step 3: Medication
• Homeopet Anxiety Drops (they work OK)
• Ask your vet for Gabapentin (or like)
• Give you cats the medication the night before the flight & the morning of an hour before the airport!

Step 4: Food/Bathroom
• A few hours before the flight take their food away
• Make sure they try to go to the bathroom before you leave

Airport
• Reserve an IN PET CABIN tag in advance online! This was $125 per flight.

Security
• You can ask for a PRIVATE SCREENING ROOM (takes a lot of time)
• OR walk your cat through the detector

Airplane:
• Isle Seat = quick access to bathroom for them
• Window = less interruptions of people walking by
• Bring a blanket/sweatshirt to cover their carrier so they can sleep
• If they can sleep or are loud- put the carrier on your lap!

LMK if you have any questions or tips to add!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

A Nun Who Remained in a Grave for Four Years

Story:
The small rural Missouri town of Gower has become an unexpected pilgrimage destination after a nun’s exhumed body showed no visible signs of decomposition. The nun, Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, was exhumed to be moved to her final resting place in a monastery chapel, four years after her death at the age of 95 in 2019. Later, Benedictine nuns dug up their foundress’ coffin to move it to beneath the altar in the convent’s chapel, which is customary. “We were told by cemetery personnel to expect just bones in the conditions, as Sister Wilhelmina was buried without embalming and in a simple wood coffin,” one nun told Newsweek. But when Mother Abbess Cecilia Snell looked through a crack in the coffin, she said she saw “a totally intact foot with the sock on, looking just like it did when we buried her.” When the sisters fully opened the coffin, they were astonished to discover Lancaster’s body with almost no signs of decay. When the coffin was opened, inmates of the monastery were stunned to find that Lancaster’s body was intact with almost no signs of decay, despite the fact that she was buried in a cracked wooden coffin that exposed her corpse to moisture and debris. Now, people are calling it a “Miracle in Missouri”.
