And flew with it back to Calif. I bought an airlines approved carrier crate, and the vet gave me a sedative for him. He rode under my seat the whole way without a problem.

One yikes moment though--Security makes you remove them from the crate so they can scan it. Another good case for the sedative.

If you move him by car, I would suggest Rescue Remedy, an herbal calmative, available online or health
food stores.

Good luck!
