Arline prices right now are the cat’s meow right now, but if you like to travel (Rome is one of our best cities), you might consider traveling with your feline. But how? Or more accurately, meow?
This article will show you the best ways to travel with your cat.
The Best Ways To Travel With Your Cat
Traveling on a plane with a cat requires careful preparation and adherence to airline and travel regulations. Here are some steps to help you travel with your cat on a plane:
Familiarize Your Cat with Travel
Help your cat become comfortable with travel by taking short car rides in the carrier. This will help them acclimate to the motion and confinement. Additionally, expose your cat to the sounds and sights associated with air travel, such as recorded airplane noises, to reduce anxiety.
Comfort and Calming Techniques
Place a familiar blanket or piece of clothing with your scent in the carrier to provide comfort to your cat. Additionally, consider using calming products or natural remedies (under the guidance of your veterinarian) to help reduce anxiety during the journey.
Feeding and Water
Avoid feeding your cat a large meal before the flight, as it can cause discomfort. However, ensure your cat stays hydrated by providing water in a spill-proof container attached to the carrier. Some airlines may require freeze-proof water containers for travel during colder months.
Identification and Microchip
Ensure your cat is wearing a secure collar with identification tags containing your contact information. Additionally, consider microchipping your cat as a permanent form of identification.
Check Airline Policies
Start by researching and understanding the specific requirements and policies of the airline you’ll be flying with. Each airline may have different regulations regarding pet travel, including restrictions on breed, size, and the type of carrier allowed.
For example, Delta Air Lines says, “Small dogs, cats and household birds can travel in the cabin for a one-way fee, collected at check-in. They must be able to fit in a small, ventilated pet carrier that fits under the seat in front of you.”
Note any additional documentation, fees, or specific procedures that may be necessary.
Familiarize yourself with the security procedures at the airport, as you may be required to remove your cat from the carrier during screening. Practice doing so calmly and safely at home to prepare for the process.
Visit the Veterinarian
Schedule a visit to your local veterinarian to ensure your cat is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. Some airlines may require a health certificate issued by a veterinarian within a specific timeframe before travel.
Choose an Airline-Approved Carrier
Purchase a suitable airline-approved pet carrier that complies with the airline’s regulations. The carrier should be well-ventilated, secure, and large enough for your cat to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Get your cat accustomed to the carrier by gradually introducing it in the weeks leading up to the trip.
Here are some pet carriers you may like:
Mesh Pet Carrier
Top Load Soft Pet Carrier
Prepare the Carrier
Line the carrier with absorbent bedding and ensure it is secure and properly fastened. Familiarize your cat with the carrier by leaving it open in your home, placing treats, toys, or comfortable bedding inside, and gradually encouraging your cat to spend time in it.
Make Reservations
Inform the airline in advance that you will be traveling with a cat. Airlines often have limited space for pets in the cabin, so it’s important to secure a reservation for your cat as early as possible. Be aware that some airlines may not allow pets in the cabin and may require them to travel in the cargo hold.
Final Tail
Having a cat in tow when you travel is a doable exercise in patience, and procedure. Remember to always prioritize the safety and well-being of your cat when traveling. It’s recommended to consult with your veterinarian and the airline directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding traveling with pets on a plane.

After a long day walking around exploring the French Quarter we stopped here for cocktails while listening to the Washboard Chaz Blues Trio. The band was rocking and had great energy and banter with the audience.
“The cocktails are expensive ($15-20), but the fleur de lis cocktail was absolutely divine! (Grey Goose vodka, essence of peach & rosemary, elderflower, and tonic!) This place was the perfect experience to wrap up our first day in New Orleans. We’ll definitely be back again!”

Netflix changed the game by becoming a streaming juggernaut for movies and TV shows. Now, the company is positioning itself to raise its monthly fee once again.
That’s according to Variety, which reports that the streaming service is circling its wagons in pursuit of profits. Netflix last raised its prices in October 2023, when the service jumped to $11.99 for its basic plan.
Variety cites Netflix’s Q$ 2023 earnings call, in which Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters posited that the U.S. audience may not be averse to a price increase with more offerings.
“We will continue to monitor other countries and try and assess,” Peters said on the call, “when we’ve delivered enough additional entertainment value” to “ask [customers] to pay a bit more to keep that positive flywheel going and we can invest in more great films, series and games for those members. So, you know, the summary statement might be, ‘Back to business as usual.’”
Netflix remains #1 in market share when it comes to streaming services in the United States. Among the reasons why include:
Original Content and Variety
Netflix offers a wide range of content, including movies, TV shows, documentaries, and original series, catering to a broad audience with diverse interests.
Netflix has invested heavily in producing original content, which has received critical acclaim and attracted a large viewership. Shows like “Stranger Things,” “The Crown,” and “Narcos” have become hugely popular worldwide.
User Experience and Convenience
Netflix allows users to stream content anytime, anywhere, on a variety of devices, making it convenient for people to watch their favorite shows and movies without having to adhere to a traditional TV schedule.
Netflix provides a user-friendly interface that recommends content based on a user’s viewing history, making it easier for viewers to discover new shows and movies they might enjoy.
No Commercials and Accessibility
Unlike traditional TV, Netflix does not interrupt its programming with commercials, offering a more seamless viewing experience.
Netflix is available in over 190 countries, making it accessible to a large international audience.

Grocery prices are sky-high right now and there’s not much we can do about them. However, when it comes to our spending habits, there are quite a few things we can do to tighten our financial belts while grocery shopping.
Overall, food prices have jumped nearly 10% over the past year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
How To Save On Your Groceries
Here are some of ways you can cut down on your grocery bill.
Eat Inside More
Along with your groceries going up, restaurants are raising their prices as well. Instead of going out to eat as much, see if you can cut down and eat at home more often.
My girlfriend who is a graduate student at Xavier University in New Orleans actually cut down on dining out by relegating one weekend night for restaurant food. Over a two-month span, she saved $300! It can change your life!

Clip Coupons
I know what you’re thinking: Clipping coupons is so 1990s, but they continue to be a way you can save on foods you love.
Grab the weekly ads from your favorite grocery store and cut out all the food items that you like that are on sale. You can also use online coupons from Coupons.com.
Shop At Discount Stores
Stay away from the Whole Foods grocery aisles if you’re not an Amazon Prime member! Shop instead at discount grocery stores like Save-A-Lot, Aldi and Lidl, where you can find cheaper items.
Buy Generic Brands
One way you can keep more money in your pocket is to buy generic brands rather than the big name brands that are well known.
Make a list of the name-brand items you love then do a Google search for “[name-brand item] alternatives” and see what comes up. You might find a new favorite brand!
Final Word
Although we see the increases in certain foods, we know that our paychecks aren’t increasing at the same rate. That’s why it makes sense to see how we can cut down on our grocery bills.
Not only will our budgets be healthier, but we could actually lose some pounds.
