Cats And Dogs

Quite a story, from Digital Spy:

"A woman opened her suitcase on holiday to discover that her kitten had stowed itself inside to join her on the trip.

Helen Wilmore, of Bradford, had been travelling for 21 hours when she finally opened her luggage to discover three-month-old Beauty.

Wilmore, 36, was visiting her cousin in Amsterdam and the kitten went undetected at security in both Leeds-Bradford and Schiphol airports.

"I couldn't believe it and I still can't take it in now how she managed to survive being stuck in there all that time - she must have used up quite a few of her nine lives," the cat-lover told The Yorkshire Post.

"We'd been delayed at Leeds-Bradford Airport for about 15 hours and Beauty had been in the luggage for that time and she'd been in the hold the whole time, probably with other suitcases being thrown on top of her. I'm thinking I should rename her Lucky."

A spokesperson at Leeds-Bradford International Airport said its security company have been informed and are investigating the incident.

"The passenger's suitcase will have gone through the checks and processes that are in place to screen hold luggage. This process is designed to detect items that may prove a threat to aircraft. An animal would not be detected by the system as it would not be deemed as a threat," he added. "

The poor little kitty cat--she must have been scared to death!
