Skywalker
Cleared for Takeoff
We did another Pilots N Paws flight: Three cats (Adam, Benjamin and Missy) needed a flight from New York City to Flint, MI and we took over the second leg from Niagara Falls (KIAG) to Flint (KFNT). On Friday (6/24/2016) we flew after work from Detroit to KIAG and met with the pilot who did the first leg at around 10:30 pm, loaded the precious freight into the Cessna, made a quick run to the restrooms and off we went. Though the cats were in cardboard boxes only, the boxes looked intact.
On take off roll Oliver said, the two cats are out of their box that they had shared... And they started roaming around in the Cessna! We already figured that it doesn't make sense to force them back in the box and we had no bigger concerns at that point as we could easily guide them where we wanted them to be. After they had inspected the Cessna, they decided, it is time to cuddle with us. After cuddling intensely with Oliver they settled in with me.
Cuddling with Oliver
Relaxing on their box
Cuddling with me
Our biggest concern was that they will run all over the place during landing even though they were very relaxed during the flight. Oliver's task therefore was to keep them under control. It turned out that Adam & Benjamin got very interested in the lights that past by on the ground. They were sitting on their box, paws on the window sill and their noses pressed to the window and remained sitting like that until we shut down the engine in the parking area.
Flying Adam and Benjamin put flight entertainment to a whole new level and we even missed cuddling with them on our final leg home. We would have adopted them in a heartbeat, but our two cats would not approve any furry additions to the family.
