That is probably the least understood part about cats... once we
learned "catspeak" and understood what the cat's body language and
sounds meant, we were amazed how well they communicate..

Call a dog by name and it (usually) comes instantly, tail wagging,
OBVIOUSLY happy to see you..

The SAME response by a cat is usually an exaggerated squint...both
eyes.....

To the casual observer, the cat has not responded at all...

But to those who understand cat... the message is very clear...

There is lots more, but this an aviation thread right?

For those who have, cat carrier on a seat or in the baggage
compartment?

I think I would keep it on the seat, if space was available...

I suspect you're right; at least, I've noticed many cases of that. The reverse
isn't 100% true, however. We never had cats at my parent's house. I got adopted
by one when I was 22 years old.

It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
