If you thought that traveling with cats was too much of a hassle, then it is because you hadn’t yet met Prince Louie and Todd, two British short-haired cats who travel the world with their owner performing tricks.
In a viral TikTok video, shared on Wednesday, under the username @louieandtodd, the two felines can be seen quietly going through TSA with their owners, acting like good boys as he holds them in his arms. After passing security checks, the cats can be seen taking a seat by the gate, and then walking up to people, getting in all the extra pets they can before boarding the plane.
If you are planning on flying with your pet, you should first check which airlines allow you to do so and where they would be keeping your animals. Newsweek previously delved into this issue and found that lots of airlines in the U.S. allow pets.
To prepare your pet for a flight, schedule a preflight veterinary appointment well in advance to obtain necessary health certificates, as veterinarians may not accommodate last-minute requests.

Ensure your veterinarian is USDA-certified if traveling internationally. Proper identification for your pet, including a labeled collar, carrier, and microchip, is essential.
Conduct a trial run by taking your pet around town or on a drive in their carrier to help them acclimate. Ensure you have all necessary medications and emergency supplies, such as paper towels, for the flight.
The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received almost 5 million views and over 631,000 likes on the platform.
