The US is very pet friendly. Your cat needs to be vaccinated 21 days prior to entering the country and needs a certificate of good health completed by your veterinarian. You can find complete instructions and forms here: http://www.pettravelstore.com/categories/Pet-Passports/. You will need to select an airline that serves the entire route as you can transit without clearing customs along the way. If you have to clear customs, you will need to conform to the requirements of the country you are transiting through.

I want to let everyone know that Continental Airlines (now United) did an excellent job of transporting my unaccompanied dog from Miami to Buenos Aires, including a walk and kennelling during a stopover in Houston. He arrived safe and happy.
I used these documents and had no problem with Argentinian Customs:

It was strongly recommended that we use a customs broker but a friend who lives there did research with the airlines and Senesa and had no problem. This saved us about $800. But it still took 3 hours to get him cleared and out of the airport.
One thing to watch: Continental erased my reservation several times. I complained loudly and often. Then everything went perfectly.
