not the other way around.

My brother and his family had a black cat that my brother found hiding under the hood of his car. Abraham was just a kitten then. My brother started his car to go to work. There was a terrible yowling. The poor cat had his tail damaged and he had to go to the vet. Part of his tail had to be amputated. He grew up to be a beautiful, shiny black cat. He was part of their family for many years.

I guess they go for a long time, so boarding him in NY might be harder than flying.

Sousse is a popular vacation destination for Europeans, and there's a strip of beach loaded with hotels catering to them. I've never seen more spoiled cats anywhere. They lived in the hotel lobbies, sleeping on the furniture and running around as though they owned the place.
