K. Be in touch later in the week.

It's to certify that the animal is healthy, vaccinated, and thus avoid quarantining.

Isn't Poland in schengen? What's to stop you from just putting the cat in the car and going to France with it?

State to state. No papers.

Did you mean to post that in Der's thread?

Because mine totally was not a parody of this one.

I am.  I wouldn't have made a thread out if it under normal circumstances, though.

Yeah, that is an actual thing. Marty's cat Rufus needs a health certificate to travel.
You may laugh about it, but this is a continent where rabies is mostly a Russian or Turkish thing.

I was surprised to see that most of Europe has entirely eradicated rabies, which is pretty good work considering what a terrifying ("hydrophobia") and deadly (100% fatality rate if you miss the very short window for post-infection treatment, and that's with today's medicine) disease it has been

The US, Canada, and Australia do still have rabies cases, but AFAIK, it's been eradicated in dogs, etc., and bats are the vector.  I think almost all the rabies cases in the US are from bat bites, and it's general medical advice to get post-exposure treatment right away if you wake up with a bat in your room, even without any visible punctures.

Raccoons are still an acknowledged vector for most of the eastern US.

True, and they do infect domestic "outdoor" cats.
