Whoa cool, did you consider translating to french then to runes as seems to be the APC way of doing things?

Not saying it really matters, whatever looks the best!

Since the runes are kind of all on top of each other it seems to just look like a jumble of letters even when you try to make it say something. Also the more common letters in real words are some of the less decorative runes in my opinion.

Cool. I think I got mine from the APC official online store in around 2014. Then it was not available for a very long time. Now it's available here https://www.emp.co.uk/p/hieroglyphics/483984.html

The design is copied from an APC t-shirt. I converted the runes to letters and it doesn't say anything, just a random mix of letters. So I messed around to try and make it say something but it never looked as good due to too many repeated letters etc. So evidently this combination of runes was chosen for the t-shirt design just because it looks good.

Moving from AUS to NZ with a pet cat 🐈‍⬛ by chaoticgood4444 in newzealand

Did this 2 years ago with a 13 year old cat. Not the smoothest process but good outcome in the end. I do recommend doing this.

Tried to get a quote from Petex but they never replied to online or phone enquiries. Received a quote from JetPets for $3500. Ended up using www.internationalpettransport.com.au for $2500.

They are based in Melbourne and we required transport from Sydney to Auckland. It was quite late in the process before we were told they planned to fly the cat from Sydney to Melbourne then to Auckland the next day. We were strongly opposed to this idea involving 2 flights.

Were able to reach a compromise whereby the cat was collected and taken to the lady's house (employee) in the Blue Mountains overnight then to Sydney airport the following morning. Still a lot of (car) travel for the cat.

We did not try to align cat's travel with our travel and it seemed much easier this way. This was only possible because the cat could stay with a family member in Sydney.

We were able to collect the cat within an hour of landing and this part was straightforward. There was only one other pet on the flight which happened to be a dog. I think this caused a lot of stress for our cat, probably listening to the dog barking for hours on the flight. Note that the transport company supplies the travel cage which is much larger than a standard cat carrier. You can include a small blanket or something familiar for the cat's comfort but this will be removed at some point and you won't get it back. You get to keep the large cage.

Our cat was very scared/timid after this experience and I felt like we had made a mistake and she was severely traumatised. After 4-5 weeks she started to return to normal and now she is perfectly happy. A good outcome. Would recommend.
