Is there a Kat SITTER actually ON BOARD with him??

Were there other Pets / Animals on the flight?

For what they are charging there better be drinks, food and a movie. :)
That would be neat that there is an actual pet sitter with the animals.

WHEW!!! He's been in the air for TWO hours now!!! YAY!!!
Missy I am soooo glad that your drive went OK - WOW!!!

This is going to be a day Boomer will not want to remember - he was in that cage 12 houirs before he even took off :rolleyes: BUT....once we pick him up, get him home (maybe a bath) - we will be spoiling him so much that he will forget his day - the destination is the best part of the adventure :D Sure wish he could talk and tell us all about it.

Phred - when do you sleep???:p

edit: off the phone with Missy and they have been home quite awhile. The drive to and from Tokyo was hectic but she did it!:D Boomer huddled in the cage - but this is usually what he does.

They read his microchip which I think is terrific. ALL pets in Japan have to be microchipped and they used an "Avid" reader and Boomer's chip is "Home Again " Kuhio posted all about these chips .

Boomer has at least one travel companion and that is a little cocker spaniel. Right now I bet they have gotten acquainted and grumbled about the delay - but are now sound asleep!!

See you tonight Boomer!!

I know that there is at least one other dog on board with him. There was an adorable cocker spaniel there waiting to be taken over to the Continental pet area. I think that there must be someone on board because they talk about keeping them watered and fed, but I'm not sure. Yes Craftlady, for the price they ought to be serving him caviar on a silver platter:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

A couple days before the trip- Boomer has a very good body-image and thinks that he can fit in this little condo:rolleyes:

These were from the day of his health certification. I didn't take any today... We were too busy!

Thanks for the great uppydates Phred and Missy. Don't be scared Boomer, your voyage will be over soon and you get to see Grandma and Grandpa. Wow!! What a story this is. I believe it's one of the most exciting PT happenings I've ever seen;) You all must be going into Wreck Stage #83 now. Bless you all!! We're praying real hard for all of you.

I have to say that I am blown away and yet soooo comforted that so many of you are rooting for my family right now. Hubby just grins and shakes his head when he reads about what all you folks are saying and doing.:D

Me - I have Misha over today - she is napping now. Mama Chris is here, too - working on homework....Missy, Tyler and Carol *should* be snoozing away by now as it is 11:15pm in Japan.

After a study group we have tonight from 7-8, we are headed out a bit early for Columbus and will wait for Boomer. It is a little over a one hour drive. Then we will get home - probably midnight or so EST. We will settle Boomer in and probably sleep in there with him. My plan is to take the digital camera to get a few pictures tonight but depends on how hectic things are. But I am a PT Meowmie and we usually provide pictures of all sorts of things:D :rolleyes:

For now - here is the Sirrah kitty welcome suite:)
for reclining and window entertainment...

Thanks for all the wonderful updates. What nice things Boomer has waiting for him! I hope that he isn't to scared on the flight, that is a long time to be wondering what is going on, but I am sure he will come through with flying colors. Can't wait to see his arrival pictures.

The living conditions are lovely. :)
I'm sure the poo and feeding stations are top notch too :) :)

Gosh I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear the final ending! I'm so happy Boomer will remain in the family!

This is so exciting! :D I almost feel like I'm there. :p

:)

Finally flyin in the right direction on the lil map! :p

See: FlightView Flight Tracker ...

For an up to the minute map of where Boomer's Plane is.

Even with his late start from Narita,
Boomer should arrive in Newark with plenty of time to make his
connecting flight to Columbus. :)

Gate: C126
Terminal: Terminal C
Scheduled Time: 4:05 p.m.
Estimated Time: 5:16 p.m.

:D

Oh Boomer, you are high in the air right now? Wow, what a big adventure for a cat!! Don't worry about getting a bit dirty, your family will love and cuddle you anyway ;) :D
I'm sorry I couldn't check in here sooner, but I have been in bed for 2 days, with severe belly flue....:(

Boomer - bless your heart - I am rooting for you!!

Wait until you see what they have waiting for you at home! I told you, they really know how to treat kitties here - you are going to love it!

This suspense is killing me! I hadn't posted before, but have been following closely.

Get home safe, Boomer! We're rooting for you!

This is so exciting! I am so glad that things went so well getting Boomer off at the airport!

Debbie, how much longer??? ;)
