Move planning goes apace

[redbird]

I have now booked both the cats' trip from here to Boston (we're having professionals transport them for us) and our tickets. Both on red-eye flights, which the cats probably won't mind. We already have the moving truck booked. There are still fiddly bits, of course, and stuff to do once we get to Boston, but that's the essentials out of the way.

*whew*

Ping me when it's time for an Ikea/Home Depot run. My car is small but has TARDIS-like trunk space.

We will, and thank you. That may be as early as March 11.

Whenever I hear about cats flying this way, I remember the time I was in Schipol and standing in line with a family -- mother, father, three young and bouncy kids, all moving back to Wisconsin after a year in Belgium. One of the little girls told me that their dog and kitty were travelling asleep in the hold, and the father added that he was sorry they didn't offer this service for children too.

The people who are transporting the cats have pointed out that it's essential that the cats be able to stand, turn around, and lie down in their carriers, which is more than the airline will be doing for me and Cattitude. (The carriers come in multiple sizes, to be selected based on the size of your pet.)
