Top 10 hilarious traveling cat photos
When I took my cat Pistol on the airplane for the first time, it was a pretty crazy experience. From clutching her fearfully through the metal detector to meeting all the kids in the airport lounge, we had a fine -- if somewhat stressful -- time. Pistol did an outstanding job, and managed to remain adorable throughout the process.
It's Friday, so I decided to focus my energy on writing about what really matters: traveling cats in their cases. Here are the top ten I found.

Stitch looks a little less than thrilled about the prospect of travel.

2. Truman, by John Morton
Truman is all ears and ready for action. He will wait patiently until you are ready to go spelunking with him.
3. Pirate and Kilgore, by Firepile
These two have been commiserating in their carrier and have decided to let you live if there's a cheeseburger in it for them.
4. Maine Coon Cat, by Rockmixer
This little geriatric looks like he wants to tell you all about his back problems and make up stories starting with "When I was your age ..."
5. Artemis, by A.M. Kuchling
This glamorous feline will continue pouting until she gets her martini and kibble at the hotel.

Gus may look like a cautious traveler, but get a little catnip in him and he'll be the first one to suggest bungee jumping.
7. Mac, by Ewen and Donabel
Mac is king of his carrier and wants to know what time he should be ready for the opera.
8. Molly and Sydney, by SomeToast
Molly and Sydney are travel pros. Molly wishes you'd picked a nicer hotel, but she'll try to be polite about it.
9. Pajamas, by Bochalla
Pajamas doesn't know if you knew they were going to put her in the belly of the plane, but she has her suspicions.

When I worked for the Santa Fe Railway (pre Amtrak) my work sometimes took me into the baggage cars of trains that had just arrived at Los Angeles Union Station. If I saw a kitty in a carrier, I'd try to make friends with it and assure Puss that its humans would be picking it up shortly.

We took one of our cats on a road trip last summer and it went really well. Here's a photo of Trillian riding in the back seat: http://www.flickr.com/photos/averagejane/3559319843/

In what way are these pictures hilarious????

Right. I don't see anything even funny. Though they're cute.

Oh...poor Stitch! He looks terrified. I, too, am wondering where the hilarity is in these pictures. Even the captions are mundane. I feel so sorry for the animals travelling in the cargo departments of planes - I can only imagine how terrified they are of the noise and feeling "trapped" and unable to get away to hide. Poor little things. That being said, the kitties here are gorgeous!

I just hope that Pirate and Kilgore had a short trip, IMO, the carrier is too small for two cats. There's no room for both of them to move around and get comfortable. My cats (6) all have their own carriers. My 18 pound cat has a larger one than the rest. Their comfort is everything to me. I even had custom-made covers for the outside, so that they feel like they're "hiding" when in transit. I uncover them in the car so that they can see, but cover them back up when I carry them. They're much calmer when I do.
