I want to ride my cat-cycle

Taking your cats on a trip from Amsterdam to London isn't that uncommon, but it is if you do it on by bike, specifically a converted cat friendly bakfiets, all to promote your cat orientated company.

This guy was in London the same week I was there! I am sorry to have missed seeing him and his kitties.

I thought getting your pets into England was relatively difficult, is that not the case anymore?

The ferry's the easiest way, from what I have read. (I am thinking of traveling with my dog.)

If I recall, bringing pets into England is difficult because there is a holding period to ensure that the animal does not have rabies to prevent the disease from being brought back into the country.

This could make even me consider triathlon. But only if we all pedal cat-quarium bakfiets. The swimming though, that's harder to figure out.

if I tried to put my Nico in one of those I'd have my own built-in siren.

I have their Blocks. They're seriously neat for cardboard-loving cats in a small apartment. The people at PoopyCat are pretty nice by email, too.

Not for EU residents with cats, dogs or ferrets: as long as you have a pet passport with the required vaccinations.

Ok, advertising worked. How do I get these in the US?
