If your cat cries during the flight, respond with patience and care. Cats may cry due to stress or discomfort, so ensure their carrier is comfortable, well-ventilated and secure.
Offer reassurance by soothing them with a familiar blanket or toy, speaking in hushed tones, and offering treats. Remain calm yourself, as scolding can worsen their anxiety. Avoid opening the carrier during the flight, as it could pose a safety risk.
If the crying persists, discreetly consult flight attendants for assistance. You can also explore calming aids like pheromone sprays or consult your vet for anxiety-reducing options.
