Also if your move is employment-related, the costs of transporting your cats is a tax-deductible moving expense. This may help offset your costs if you have to take 2 flights or pay for another passenger to accompany the 2nd cat.
Wish I could help, but almost always fly with my small dog in the cabin. Best wishes on your move
