Pet Talk's own Best of Show... I LOVE it!
Maybe we could consider regional travelers as a sort of minor league ranking and then work up to the big-time jet setters flying all over the world?... Here's my contender for highly-traveled-within-one-country:
My Peony was born and rescued as a kitten in Venice, California, while I was visiting a friend in Los Angeles.. she then flew with me from L.A. to Boston (which included a change of planes in Detroit).. then we went by cab to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I lived at the time .. Several years later we drove to Providence, Rhode Island, where we lived for four years.. and then we drove here to Ann Arbor, Michigan (with an overnight stop in Pennsylvania, and I don't remember the town but it was at a Holiday Inn about 10 or 15 miles off I-80 closer to the western end of PA), where we live now. Who knows where next?...
So she is a pretty well-traveled cat, though only within the U.S. .. not quite like all these world travelers! And she has no desire to expand her horizons.
To this day, whenever I get the carrier out, she hides.. and after I do get her into it, she complains for the whole trip (to the vet's usually). I think she's afraid I'm going to stuff her in a box and take her on another airplane! At least she got to ride in the cabin with me on that trip. It would have been utterly horrible if she'd had to go in the cargo section. I think I would have changed my flight until I could get one she could go in the cabin.
P.S., and Elmer would like to thank the Academy for recognizing him and Taccoa and Amy AND ButterScotch!

I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
