My travel agent booked my ticket and arranged passage for Opie last week, but yesterday I found out that the propeller plane from Copenhagen to Southern Jutland does not allow pets. Why did it take a week to figure this out?
My alternatives she told me were a bus, train, or rental car. With 2 suitcases, a 20 lb. cat and a backpack, I didn’t see how public transportation was an option and after flying all night, driving didn’t seem safe.
I asked for some time to weigh my options. And I thought, “why not fly through Frankfurt, which has jet service to Southern Jutland?” Why didn’t my travel agent think of that?
Opie will travel in cargo through Frankfurt and I won’t be able to see him until we clear customs in Denmark nearly 12 hours after our first flight takes off :(

aaawwww Opie. Can you give him some piece of clothing of yours so he feels close to you? I know it’s breaking you up, it would me too.

Hi Barb,
I’m planning to put something him there for him to snuggle up with. I’m doing a trial run on the sedatives today and feel like the worst cat mom, ever! There’s no way he’ll be out the full 18 hours :(
This is the second worst part of the move. It’s just awful!!!

Sending calming vibes to Opie as he crosses the pond.
I once had a cat named Tye-Me who looked like your Opie. Orange Tabby cats are real charmers.
Maybe the flight crew can call down to the cargo area for updates on Opie during the flight?
Bon voyage!
