Does beef come from cows? How can you tell?

jsfnita

I used to think so until, at the ports today, where I work, there was a beef crate from Australlia. I asked someone if they really had cows in Australlia-seemed weird anyhow, but they said that Kangaroo, Bison, and other animals are served as beef. So is there any way to tell the difference?
Just want to add- I don't think there is any way Kangaroos could be beef is there?

Answer
No, at least in this country if it says beef, then it is always from a cow. That's not true in some other places though. I ate what was called 'beef' on a ferry in Hong Kong one time and it actually had been made from Tofu. But 'beef' here is always from cattle. However you know at times they do use the bad parts of the animal to make things like hot dogs and other food we eat.

What is the best way to provide our cat with food and water during and international flight?

I used a hamster water bottle for our flight over, but she was soaking wet when we landed. Food and water containers must attach to the crate. Any ideas?
I dread her having to make this flight! We have had her for 9 yrs. Leaving her in Japan is NOT an option!!

It might have tips as well. Whatever you do, please don't sedate your cat, it can be deadly. How long is your trip? My daughter flew her cat in cabin on a four hour flight without food/water and he did just fine.
UPDATE: No worries, your kitty is going to be fine. I travel a lot and I've seen many small dogs in cabin traveling on an AirCanada flight from Hong Kong to Vancouver to Toronto, and those pets manage just fine. Yes I know I mentioned little dogs, however you can pretty much apply the same theory to cats traveling. You really should contact the airline you're traveling on and follow their pet policy procedure. Especially if it's an international flight because there is a lot of preparation involved along with red-tape prior to boarding your flight. The airline needs to be notified in advance that you're traveling with a pet or else your pet might not be able to board. Wishing your family including your fur-baby a safe and problem free flight. Don't be shy about asking questions and having those questions clarified to your satisfaction with the airline you purchased your ticket from.
