doumeizhen Posted August 7, 2010 at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 12:46 AM We are planning on moving to China with our cat kitty, and we have everything figured out, save whether or not we can take her on a train. I've read that you can "check them"... how does that work? Do all trains allow this. We're hoping to bypass the 30 day quarantine in Beijing...

Jane_PA Posted August 7, 2010 at 02:45 AM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 02:45 AM It is difficult to say... Many years ago, we moved home within China and we secretely carried our cat on a train and hid her the whole night in a basket in case the conductor found out... If you are a foreigner, probablly, you would get more attention from the train conductor. It may not be easy to hide... I feel sorry that I am telling something may violate the train policy... How about you consult the train station when you buy the ticket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 7, 2010 at 03:08 AM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 03:08 AM Long time no see. There's a response from 天￠心 quite far down this page that looks helpful - no idea how accurate or up to date that is though. And it doesn't look untroublesome.

kong Posted August 7, 2010 at 07:27 AM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 07:27 AM hello,i'm new here.it's forbid taking pets on a train with you.but you can check her(means pets consigned),but not all the train stations have the service and it will a little difficult,pets consigned in a train station will do some danger to your pet if there's no one take care of her. so i advise ,first of all,you should take her to the quarantine station and get a permit,that's very necessary. 1.take her by bus. 2.some compay can help you on this,it's not difficult to find one.they are professional of pets consigned，and you also need more advice from friends who live in China. 3.you also can transact pet consigned by plane. 4.of course you can hid her on you,cover her under you clothes or something on you,i'm sorry give you this adivse. in the end,there's something you should know if you get pet consigned by plane,it's chinese website http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/16682239 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeizhen Posted August 7, 2010 at 12:43 PM Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 12:43 PM Jane_PA - I don't think this cat could be hid... it sounds like you have a really nice cat! And Roddy - Long time no see indeed! Thank you for that link. It's a good start, and I think I'll call and follow up with the train station...

Jane_PA Posted August 7, 2010 at 12:47 PM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 12:47 PM To Doumeizhen: Yes, my cat was easy to hide because my cat was a very very timid one. She was so scared that she never made a little noise when she was outside of our home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeizhen Posted October 5, 2010 at 04:54 AM Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 at 04:54 AM Update! Kitty is now safe and sound with us here in the 'Jing. We ended up flying through Tianjin so that Kitty could avoid certain incarceration periods, and were able to board the express train to Beijing by presenting our international health certificate. No problem! I think there is a separate health certificate that the department of trains issues, but as said, ours was accepted after we told them we'd just landed and used this certificate to bring Kitty into China.

aroberts42 Posted October 10, 2010 at 09:52 AM Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 at 09:52 AM Hi Everyone, so glad you were able to bring you litty to China! Hopefully we will too someday. But I do have a question. It is not legal to take pets on a train, but what about on a bus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted October 10, 2010 at 10:12 AM Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 at 10:12 AM How has your cat responded to the change of location? My parents took their cat for a weekend to a friend's house, and the cat was very distressed being out of its own teritory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
