Ref our phone conversattion, please take note of below import
restrictions in India.
Restrictions for import of AVI into India :

accepted in India.
Any violations would attract strict penalities.
Cnee must have a valid import Licence Prior to their import to India

Just wondering if anyone really knows what the story is for importing a cat and a dog.

Hm. The Swiss Indian embassy offers this, for instance: http://www.indembassybern.ch/import.html .

Searching the web for +import +pets +india or similar (try adding +domestic) produces more hits. At the end of the day, I'd just call your embassy and airline company about it.
