Tanaka's Got a Brand New Bag


We spent Sunday (July 31) celebrating Mister Tanaka's second birthday with a major purchase, at least as far as a feline is concerned.

Now the proud owner of his very own Sherpa travel bag, Tanaka is once again, I think, starting to suspect that something is up. Shelly's running around like mad scraping and painting, Greg's throwing out bags of old stuff and boxes are mysteriously starting to appear in places they weren't before.

The last time this happened, Tanaka joined in, digging out his many toys (a grand name, I suppose, for bits of plastic and ribbons) and, I kid you not, bringing them all to his old hard-side travel case.

I don't think he's actually been in his new bag, yet, but somehow a favorite ribbon is already there.

The ultra-cool new travel bag will allow Mister T to snooze his way across the Pacific in the luxury of the passenger cabin, rather than stowed as luggage. Truth be told, he'll probably be more comfortable than I will.

Wow, that's pretty classy. Now the next obstacle is to get him to like it:-) Good Luck!

Perhaps you'd be more comfortable stowed away in luggage! Give Tanaka your ticket and get yourself a large duffle bag. :)

I hope that there's no one allergic to cats on your flight...

Yeah, hopefully Tanaka won't bother anyone, allergy-wise, especially on the 12-hour flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo.

He's been asleep in his bag for the last hour with no complaints, so he's apparently happy with his lodging...
