How long before a flight should I stop feeding my cat to avoid messes?

Question

Hello, I am taking a red eye 3 hour flight. Any suggestions on when to stop feeding my cat before the flight to hopefully avoid messes? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 3 months and 26 days old | 4.5 lbs

I would withhold food at least 8 hours before the flight, to make sure stomach is completely empty. It is a good idea to feed him with a bland diet a couple of days before flight (boiled white fish or chicken and rice would be good). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
