Flying a cat FROM Argentina TO the USA

[dennisr]

Like a passenger plane is some sort of super sterile thing. An airliner has got to be the most germ ridden thing known to man or beast with or without critters.

To wit: http://en.wikipedia....i/Toxoplasmosis, a serious public health hazard. Cats also kill phenomenal numbers of birds: https://www.sciencen...birds-each-year

Amazing the things you can learn about from Wikipedia, the world's most objective and reliable source of information. (In fact, I think many people from this forum are active contributors, so if you weren't convinced before, no doubt you are now.)

Are you really going to try to make the case that one of the world's most popular pets (Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia....#Pet_popularity), with widely acknowledged health benefits for their care givers (Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia....iver.27s_health), is a serious public health hazard?

If it's true, it's one of the world's best kept secrets.

By the way, dogs also pose public health risks: (Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia....ic_health_risks). And this, from the world's second most objective and reliable source of information (Huffington Post:http://www.huffingto..._n_1138618.html).

Are we really having this discussion?

I will give you this: My apartment has always been bird free. This may be due to the cats, although I've never actually witnessed any of my cats bringing down a bird. My apartment may just happen to be in a no fly zone.

Cats are repulsive, disease-ridden creatures.

Cats are awesome and I'd rather sit next to one on an airplane than have to sit next to grumpy old people, unless of course its Walter Matthau or bergess Meredith. They were pretty awesome too.

Are you sure you'd want to sit next to Walter or Burgess? Have you seen them lately?

Cats can only make things worse. Dog owners, at least, clean up after their pets (except in Buenos Aires).
