We’ve only ever traveled long-distance with Zora the one time (when we moved here) and luckily we didn’t have any peeing problems on that occasion! I don’t know what to recommend, other than choosing a carrier that is leakproof, and having some kind of absorbent material on the bottom (as you can see in the photo above, our Sherpa carrier has a sort of fleece insert). When we flew with Zora we also brought along extra towels, which we didn’t end up needing, and in your case, since you have a strong suspicion that your cat may “act up,” maybe some baking soda or talc that could absorb any mess and neutralize the smell a bit (although I’m not sure how your cat may react to that, so may be best to ask your vet about it too).

We have a separate post on the site about the administrative details involved with bringing a cat to France which you can check out here. I think it will answer your questions.

I may have the opportunity to go to France next year, and I will have to think about my cat at that time as well, was there a license required? what kind of paper work did you have to take care of ahead of time?

Great looking cat by the way.

Thanks! We think she’s pretty cute
