Today's Washington Post newspaper opens its Travel Section with Have pet, will travel, a feature on getting away and staying, away, with pets. You can bone up (pun intended!) on Pet Airways, an airline dedicated to pets; and on the Muse hotel near Times Square, which has a director of pet relations who is a teacup Pomeranian. And you can also check out around a half-dozen lodging choices from across the nation that welcome and even provide specifically for pets.
Most of the coverage in this feature seems to lean toward dogs. Well, actually, I think it is exclusively about dog travel options. It would really be great, since cats are the most popular pet species in the US now, to see some column-inches devoted to catering to people with cats. Granted that cat owners tend to agree with writer Cocteau, who said cats are the home's visible soul, still there are times when cat owners might want to have Tabby tag along on a trip.
Have you travelled with a pet recently? What was your experience? Are there places where your dog particularly seems to like to visit or lodgings where you've felt most nearly at home with your cat? Leave a comment to tell us about it!
