I share some of these same fearful fears over the scorpions. Reading this thread before I moved made me feel better as we finally decided to live in town instead of somewhere out like Queen Creek. Even so, being here in a single-family home near the Gilbert/Mesa line for less than 2 wks, we saw our first scorpion yesterday. Son found it in the garage on a closet door he was cleaning -- it had just molted as its 'skeleton' could clearly be seen a few inches away. Thank goodness he decided to clean it there (where the former residents had left it) before bringing it to his room. I admit I felt quite uneasy yesterday, and on extra-alertness today. Hopefully, we'll stay on top of the pest-control. And like dh says, we'll learn not to go outside barefoot, well, at least not in the dark. ;)

"fearful concerns" -- that's what I meant to say For the record, it does appear that there has been alot of nearby road construction (within a block) and large land clearings (within a couple of blocks).

Hi Gary20110 Please, please don't put your cat under the plane - I travel with my 13 lb. Maine coon every six months or so and she sits in the cabin at my feet. We've been on Delta, American Airlines and United Express. You can get the "large" Sherpa carryon - or something similar - to put your kitty in. I have no problems with the airlines, and, on longer flights, if no one is sitting next to me, I put the carrier on the seat next to me. It's about $80 each way, so you will need to purchase a ticket for your cat. I hope this helps. Also, I've been considering a move to Phoenix and came across a site called apartmentratings(dot)com and people were talking about the scorpions on the "bottom floor" of one of the Scottsdale apts. It scares the heck out of me. My cat is 10 years old and I don't want any entanglement with these awful bugs. Good luck on your move.

Hi Jackie, What I had learned...is airlines require a pet who will be in the cabin to be able to fit under the seat (in front of the passenger) in its carrier, and be able to freely move about therein. That would seem to rule out anything larger than a squirrel! So I wonder what I'm missing here...if you are able to have your cat sit at your feet in the cabin? I guess you checked this out prior to your flying...who did you contact which okay'd it? Thanks for the information. All of this seems to become quite complex! Gary Manassas, VA

Another scorpion! And it was on me... I've now heard several people who've been here all their lives and never seen one in their homes, I don't get it.
