About Travel Cat Notes
Travel Cat Notes is a small, free library about one thing: getting cats from A to B without the trauma - vet visits, road trips, flights and house moves. It's written for ordinary cat households - plain steps, no jargon, no miracle promises - and it's made by the team behind PawLine, a research-based dog and cat Q&A app. PawLine app, patent pending.
How the guides are written
Each guide starts from the situations cat owners actually face, then gets built from veterinary and official sources, linked below. Rules that change - airline pet policies, country entry requirements - are flagged as "verify before you go" rather than stated as permanent facts. These guides are general information, not veterinary advice - your vet knows your cat.
