Security staff at a United States airport were shocked to find a cat inside a traveller’s luggage. Officials at New York’s John F Kennedy airport noticed ginger fur sticking out of a suitcase when an x-ray confirmed a furry feline was trapped inside.
The passenger who owned the case did not know the cat was inside and was required to return to the ticket desk after it was found. The furry stowaway – identified by the New York Post as being called Smells – was returned to its owner.
The cat’s owner told the Post that Smells must have crawled into the suitcase of a visiting friend. She did not know her tabby was missing until airport officials called her.
