Crying.
"Six weeks and $600.00 later, Lau and I were standing in the terminal of Shanghai Pudong Airport, and I was crying because the airline was not going to let him on the plane with me.
It worked out, in the end. The supervisor let me take him onto the plane, despite her fear of losing her job or being punished for it. I sat on the plane for 12 hours with Lau meowing and pawing at the carrier, sometimes being quiet before starting up again. I didn’t sleep at all, and when we reached Los Angeles, things got crazy yet again.
Customs was a breeze, but the line was so long that I missed my first plane. The second plane, and the last plane of the night, was almost a go- But then the security line was too long, and I missed the second flight as well. Lau and I ended up in a hotel room for six hours, where I got barely three hours of sleep between his meowing and fluttering around.
We arrived in Colorado Monday morning. Lau was quiet and well-behaved for the entire flight, and began bouncing around inside the car the minute I let him out of his carrier. An hour later, we were at home, and he settled down to rest in my bathroom while we waited for his new owner to come pick him up."
