It's official! Greta and I are moving to LA in August. I will be starting my PhD in Polisci/IR, and Greta will be continuing her goodwill mission to promote Japanese feline culture and refinement around the world.
Greta flew in an airplane once before, in 2009 when we moved to Korea, but that was only a two hour flight and I doubt she remembers it now. I sat down with her and patiently explained everything was going to happen, and answered her questions.

| If the pilots are not kitties, how can we be sure we'll land on our feet? |
 |
| And I'm not allowed to pee the whole time? |
Greta understandably has some anxieties about moving to another country. The last move was hard on her at first, but she eventually embraced her new home. She is studying up to learn everything she can about her mommy's homeland.

This is where we're going to live? How will we both fit in such
a small two-dimensional space? |
 |
What's this about tired, poor, huddled masses? I am a Kamogawa princess
from an ancient bloodline. I do not huddle with the masses. |
 |
| If we move to America, can I get a handgun? |
America, prepare yourselves for a major cuteness injection this August!

ReplyDeletehello there, I read your post about your cat joining you State-side, and was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving me a little detail on that. I lived and taught in South Korea a few years ago, and am currently in the process of returning. With that said I have no clue how I'm going to part with my cat, Atlas. He has never been on an airplane, but he recently was ground shipped from NC to OR. Once again just curious about the logistics of kitty travel because it seems like a very daunting process. I look forward to hearing from you. ~jennifer (p.s. feel free to email me at dogwoodblue716 (at) gmail (dot) com
