Yes, I also thought a mild tranquilizer might be a good idea and to try it ahead of time - but the airline specifies NO TRANQ - the lady I spoke with last night also reminded me of this and that they would refuse to accept animals they suspcet of being sedated. I think it is a liaboity/breathing thing as caseysmom thought.
Thanks Kari - it sounded like a smart idea to me too Keep up the prayers for everyone -OK?

Please let us know when you get this precious boy! I'm jittery just thinking of his long trip (he'll probably SLEEP the whole way). Quite an adventure for a young lad!

Is there any way you can give us a tracking number or some other way to "track" Boomer's progress during the course of his travel without it revealing any personal information?

I'm just so jittery about the long trip, but I'm so so happy Boomer can remain with his family (and baby skin brother)! I'll be saying prayers for him all during his trip.

I'm glad to hear that Boomer got a clean bill of health. Now hopefully he'll have a safe flight and an uneventful one.

Counting down, Boomer!!!

He'll be on Continental flights 008 from NRT to EWR and then flight 0753 from EWR to CMH.
If you go to the below website while he is in flight you should be able to select the airline and choose the flight number and watch a realtime animation of his flights Make sure you select "graphical version" though or you will just get text.

should not be given sedatives. I think if you were with the kitty, watching him, then it would be ok. Or if you were in a car and able to monitor him......

I, too, think they are afraid of the breathing thing.......I don't know if all of the airlines keep the air flowing like they do in the passenger areas.

I have heard excellent things about some folks who ship pets and then I have heard nightmares too. I wouldn't hesitate to ship a pet by air, except for the cost...........

All things considered, I think Boomer is a good age, in good health, not a "pure bred" "hyper, sensitive"....... like some cats....and will be fine. He looks like he has a bit of weight on him, so water will be his best friend for those hours. I would attach a couple of water bottles for him......if that is what you are going to do.

I will track his flights....when is he leaving again?

Good luck the big Boomer! "G & G Hotel Ohio" is right around the corner. You will love your new home and you get to be with many more buddies and kids and Grandma & Grandpa and well, it will be a love fest. And you have all these pet talk folks rooting for you too!

Be good Boomer.

Hi! This is Boomer...


It is Tuesday morning in America but already Tuesday night in Japan. We are leaving early in the morning (Tuesday evening your time) - to go to the airport!!
I hope you will be thinking and praying for me - OK?

[Biscuit's Mom]

Oh, thank you so much! I'll be following his progress. I've also printed out a couple of pictures of him, to focus good thoughts for him while he's travelling . I know, I need a life

We will have "BE SAFE Boomer" thoughts on our collective Tribe mind today and tomorrow and will send all the positive vibes your way.
We won't be happy until he's in your arms, safe and sound.
Wheww, this is a little nerve wracking, but we know it will go well.

You're comin' home Boomer......!

[sasvermont]

I saved his photo as my background on my office computer. I will think of his for the next few days!

You go Boomer!

[Shady]

Hurry home Boomer!

I too will be holding Boomer in my thoughts during the time he's winging his way over the ocean, then the continental U.S. and away from all of his family.

I will also be anxiously awaiting Debbie's update here when she has Boomer safe and sound at home.

[Logan]

Safe travel to you, sweet Boomer!!! We're sending good thoughts to you and your mom and your grandmas.

Fingers crossed and LOTS of prayers for the safe flight of the Boom man.

I am SO glad that Boomer is going to be where he should be, with his family.
