(5) will the pet leave Canada with you?
Thank you for the useful tips. I have been coaching both my kid and cat on the appropriate answers to give CBP agents on both sides of the border. I think the cat has mastered his answers, but kid is 12, and quite likely to give the typical adolescent type reply, i.e. "None of your business!"
I will put the email confirming that cat is welcome at our lodging with cat's other paperwork, which is currently tucked in my passport.
