I have to agree with Nick H and iyou's comments and all those for leaving him home. I moved my cat just interstate and it ended up getting sick from all the stress and this was just a few hours on the plane (but a very new environment). I seriously love my cat to death but would never even consider moving him to India, it's just too much for them. In India I've seen dead kittens/cats on the roadside and no-one bats an eyelid whereas I was close to tears. Find a caring family to adopt him who're perhaps willing to give him back on your return.

Here's a very good reason for not bringing your cat...
I just heard this from my girlfriend. Today she saw some people near her house (in Chennai) catch a cat using a net and take it away in a bag. These people belong to a certain tribe which, apparently, prizes cat meat ![]() No idea how widespread this is but the cat catching, at least, is an eye-witness account.
