Thanks for Visiting Our First Class Lounge! ✈️🐾

Hello, Friends!

We’re Pecan Pie and Blueberry Biscuit, and we wanted to thank you for stopping by our First Class Lounge at Carolina Kitty Con!

What an incredible weekend. We met so many wonderful cat lovers, made new friends, posed for photos, handed out boarding passes, and enjoyed welcoming visitors to our lounge. Whether you stopped by for a quick hello or spent time chatting with us, we loved meeting you.

Pecan Pie’s favorite part of the weekend was greeting visitors and making new friends. He happily accepted compliments, pets, and attention as if he had been training for this role his entire life.

Blueberry Biscuit took a more executive approach. She carefully supervised lounge operations, monitored passenger behavior, and ensured all First Class standards were maintained. While she may not admit it publicly, we suspect she enjoyed the attention too.

One of our favorite parts of Kitty Con was hearing your stories about your own cats. We met adventurous cats, shy cats, confident cats, mischievous cats, and humans who love them every bit as much as we love our own adventures.

We’ve contacted the winner of our First Class Sushi Date giveaway and are excited to plan a special lunch adventure soon. Thank you to everyone who entered and joined us in the lounge!

This Mews Letter is where we’ll occasionally share our latest adventures, favorite finds, travel tips, and behind-the-scenes moments from life as two very busy traveling cats. We have plenty more adventures planned, and we’d love to bring you along for dis journey.

Until our next flight,

🩵 Pecan Pie & Blueberry Biscuit

June Mews – Preparing for Departure!

We knew something was happening when the boxes started arriving.

At first, it was just dis one.

Then another.

Then there were stickers on the dining room table.

Then signs leaning against the wall.

Then boarding passes.

Then a cat tree appeared in the living room that neither of us was allowed to claim permanently.

Naturally, we launched an investigation.

Pecan Pie supervised from a comfortable position nearby.

I, Blueberry Biscuit, took a more active role in quality control.

After several weeks of careful observation, we have reached dis conclusion:

Our mom is preparing for Carolina Kitty Con.

The clues are everywhere.

There have been conversations about table runners, lounge passes, giveaways, signs, stickers, and approximately one million other details that humans apparently consider important.

Pecan Pie has been extremely interested in the process.

Mostly because every box might contain treats.

So far, this strategy has been unsuccessful.

Still, he remains optimistic.

Meanwhile, I have been reviewing the plans for our Luxury Flight Lounge.

The seating appears acceptable.

The décor is coming together nicely.

The overall atmosphere is appropriately refined.

This will do.

We are especially excited because Carolina Kitty Con means we get to meet fellow cat enthusiasts and hear stories about the cats who share your homes and your hearts.

One of our favorite things about traveling is meeting new people. Whether we’re flying across the country, exploring a new town, relaxing on a boat, or simply accompanying Mom on one of her adventures, we love seeing how much joy cats bring to the lives of their humans.

Mom often says that every cat has a story.

We think every human does too.

And we love hearing both.

While we are preparing the lounge, Mom is busy getting ready for her presentation on traveling with cats. As experienced travel cats ourselves, we feel uniquely qualified to offer our support.

Pecan Pie’s contribution has primarily involved demonstrating proper napping techniques in airports.

I have focused on maintaining high standards for accommodations.

Together, we believe we make an excellent team.

As June 20th and 21st get closer, the excitement around our house continues to build.

There are still boxes arriving.

There are still lists being made.

And there is still a surprising amount of work involved in creating a lounge worthy of distinguished feline guests.

We hope you’ll stop by and say hello if you’re attending Carolina Kitty Con.

We’ll be the ones overseeing operations from the comfort of dis first class.

Purrs,

Pecan Pie & Lady Blueberry Biscuit

While we’re busy preparing for departure, Mom is busy preparing for Carolina Kitty Con too.

She’ll be speaking about traveling with cats—everything from road trips and air travel to hiking, boating, and helping families determine whether their cat is truly an adventure cat.

We’ll let her take it from here.

Dr. Azure’s Perspective: Is Your Cat an Adventure Cat?

Is Your Cat an Adventure Cat?

Dr. Azure Holland’s Perspective: Is Your Cat an Adventure Cat?

When most people think about traveling with cats, they picture an airline carrier and a trip through the airport.

But cat travel can look very different from that.

Some cats enjoy road trips. Some accompany their families to vacation homes. Some explore hiking trails in backpacks or harnesses. Some spend weekends on boats. Others are perfectly content joining their people for a quiet getaway and watching the world from a sunny window.

As both a veterinarian and a cat mom to two well-traveled cats, I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand how different cats respond to adventure.

One of the biggest misconceptions I encounter is that cats either travel well or they don’t.

The reality is much more nuanced.

Just like people, cats have different personalities, preferences, and comfort levels. Some are naturally curious and adaptable. Others thrive on routine and familiarity. Neither approach is right or wrong.

The goal isn’t to turn every cat into a hiking cat, a boating cat, or a frequent flyer.

The goal is to understand the individual cat in front of you.

When families ask me whether their cat would enjoy travel, I encourage them to look beyond the destination and focus on the experience. Is the cat relaxed in new environments? Do they recover quickly from changes in routine? Are they curious and confident, or do they become overwhelmed when their surroundings change?

The answers to those questions are often more important than the mode of transportation itself.

June 20 & 21 2006, I’ll be speaking at Carolina Kitty Con about traveling with cats and sharing practical guidance for families considering adventures with their feline companions. We’ll discuss everything from car rides and air travel to hiking, boating, and helping cats experience the world safely and comfortably.

Not every cat wants an adventure.

But for those that do, the journey can be incredibly rewarding.

Wishing you and your feline family a wonderful summer,

Dr. Azure Holland

As I prepare for Carolina Kitty Con and my presentation on traveling with cats, two very enthusiastic feline assistants have been closely monitoring the preparations. I’ll let them explain.
