USAToday Travel: Pet Airways. Seriously.

Stewardess, fetch me a martini with a twist of catnipStewardess, fetch me a martini with a twist of catnip

It’s 2009–nine years past the dot-com bubble bursting, more than a year into the 21st century real estate crash. The worldwide economy is in the shitter, and the United States specifically is experiencing record unemployment and poverty.

And yet our entrepreneurial spirit springs strong. Got a spare $250? You can now fly your pet first class on Pet Airways to five destinations in the continental US.

Yes, I am one of those freaks who considers my cats to be my family. (Why shouldn’t I? My cats are more dependable than my ex-husband.) And I would definitely not let my beloved babies fly in a cargo hold.

But…now? Seriously?? Is there honestly enough demand for this service at this time?

Maybe if they advertise on TV with an annoying sock puppet, they’ll succeed.
