I'm going to visit my mother for Easter, and she happens to live in the same city as the cat Breeder. I thought it was silly at first that I would have to go home without the kitty. However it seems I will be able to get bring the kitty home with me! I found out that Go Train (multi city Transit System) will allow the kitten on the train, as long as she is in a cat carrier. The train from Toronto to Ottawa has luggage car and I will be allowed to check her in as a pet. That saved me almost $200. Win for me. I just have to figure out how to get the kitty, and how to bring myself and they kitten to the Go Train @ 5:30 in the morning when I leave to come home.

I don't own a car. So the only way the cat is going to get to Ottawa is either on the Train, or via plane in a small heated section of the belly. Where it's probably quite loud. Breeders ship out Bengals worldwide, so depending on the distance it could be even longer of a trip for the poor cat. I will even bring something like a blanket that has my scent on it and put it in cat carrier with her. This might help her calm down abit.It's not like I'm putting the cat underneath a train or anything. It's a regular car with no windows, and gutted of the seats basically. So it's not luggage compartment, it's an entire train car just for luggage. People use them all the time.

I take the plane option, and the cat will be in the air for about 90 minutes, and landing in two different airports. Then you have to factor in time between the planes etc etc.. It could be just as long as the train if not longer. Kitchener is a smaller city, so I would assume it would go to the main Hub for the province (Toronto), then go to Ottawa.

How old is the kitten? Some vets will dispense a medicine to help keep pets calm during such situations, as travel like that can be extremely stressful.

She will be 92 days/ 3 months and 2 days old when I pick her up. The train is heated, and it's a walled off section, from the luggage itself. They would not allow the pets to travel, if it wasn't.( I called and asked them)

I plan to bring a small blanket up with me with, and leaving it with the breeder so it has my scent and picks up the scents in the house. Then, when I'm ready to pick her up and go home, it should have collected some scents. There is going to be around 4-5 days from when I visit her, and pick her up. I could even mail out a blanket a couple weeks ahead of time.

Btw, here is the newest pictures I got from the breeder.
