>everyone should be paranoid because I have an uncommon lethal allergy

The world is better without you genetically inferior and oversensitive faggots anyway.

Get your cat used to the cage you're going to take it in advance so you're prepared before the day you have to leave.

>what is lying

obviously just didn't want to share a cabin with a filthy shitting cat

Vets can offer sedative medicine for this sort of thing. It's five hours in a carrier. That's a hell of a long time cooped up in it, and it might be easier on him to go that route.

If you don't want to go the sedative route (and even if you do) you could try exposing him to as many of these things ahead of time as you can and seeing how he reacts, then counter conditioning him for anything he's afraid of. There are also calming cat treats and sprays which seem to work well on my cat for smaller things. Some are sedative and some aren't. Don't combine these with anything prescribed by a vet though, or give them to him in excess of whatever the maximum allowance is.

There's a lot of things you can't counter condition for though, stuff like the pressure changes as the plane ascends and descends or turbulence for instance.

I'd suggest against getting an aisle seat by the way. I know aisle seats are more comfortable for humans, but every time someone goes by with snacks or drinks or something on that cart your cat is going to be very afraid. And every time you have to get up to let someone else get up, they're going to walk past your cat, possibly kicking his carrier and even if not he'll likely be afraid by them 'approaching' and him having nowhere to hide or run to. This changes some if you're flying with family or other people he's familiar with. Other than that get a seat away from the engine so it's a little quieter for him. Put a blanket or towel in the carrier too so it's a little softer and warmer.

Put him on prone position and duct tape him to the floor
That should do the trick
