Flying my cat in cargo

Hello,

I’m making this post to receive some advice since everything I search and look at tells me “NEVER PUT YOUR CAT IN CARGO!!!”.

So, in October I’ll be flying to Sweden so my year long stay, the issue I’m having is that there’s no direct flight from Canada to Sweden in October so I’ll be taking a connecting flight with SAS.

Merlin (my cat) is a 2 year old male Siberian cat who is 17lbs. He’ll be able to go in the cabin with me for air Canada but not for my connecting flight, and overall the more I think about having him in the cabin the more uncomfortable I think he’ll be since he won’t be able to stand in the carrier

Other than the stress he’ll go through, I feel like he’d be more comfortable in cargo since I have a big kennel for him so he’ll be able to stand and turn around with no issues

I am stressing about the whole situation so if anyone has done this before can you please give me some tips/ advice? Leaving him in Canada is not an option

Does my cat like going outside?

Hi, I need some opinions… when I got my boy I wanted to make him an adventure cat but unfortunately I started taking him outside a little too late since I was scared of him escaping. When he was a kitten I took him outside a handful of times and they were pretty random too. Now my boy is 2 and I’m trying to make bringing him outside a more regular thing. So far I’ve brought him outside 3 mornings in a row but I really can’t tell if he likes it.

When I take him outside I put him in his backpack but he doesn’t seem to like going in it. Then when we’re outside he seems scared for the first 3mins and then warms up (in my opinion it looks like he warms up). But idk if it’s just me being overly hopeful or if he actually is starting to enjoy it

If anyone has some tips and stuff please share!! I really want to make this work with my boy

Sorry for the terrible grammar, I’m tired

Question about gear

Hello, I’ve been doing photography for a while now, and I’ve really been wanting to get more into pet photography. I’ve done a bit of it already and I really enjoy it. The only issue is that using my 200–800mm can be a bit awkward for that kind of shooting.. I’ve been looking at the RF 70–200mm f/2.8, but at almost $4,000, it’s a lot more than I want to spend on a single lens right now. Because of that, I’ve been considering the RF 70–200mm f/4 instead.
I was wondering if I’d really be giving up much by going with the f/4 over the f/2.8 for outdoor pet photography. I’ve tried looking into it, but I can’t seem to find many people comparing the two specifically for pet photography.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
