Anyone with small pets has experienced them getting into small spaces, cabinets, appliances, boxes, and more. There have also been several stories of small animals stowing away in wheel wells of trucks, near engines of vehicles, and traveling miles without the driver’s knowledge.
CBS says TSA agents at New York’s JFK Airport discovered an interesting holiday traveler yesterday. After noticing something shaped like a cat on the screen as the bag passed through the x-ray machine, the agent unzipped the bag to find a cat sticking its head out of the suitcase. Apparently, the cat belonged to the passenger’s roommate and the cat’s owner had no idea it had stowed away in their friend’s baggage and didn’t know where the cat was. The TSA posted a picture of the cat along with the tweet; “We’re letting the cat out of the bag on a hiss-toric find This CATch had our baggage screening officers @JFKairport saying, ‘Come on meow’!”
