These kinds of stories would be considered very odd since it is not everyday that security staff at the John F Kennedy Airport in New York City would see the outline of a cat that was inside of a travelers bag which was an orange cat who was a stowaway. The agents who are employed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) contacted Delta Airlines who contacted the owner of the cat who was a passenger getting to board a flight from New York City to Orlando Florida on Tuesday. The owner of the bag that had the stowaway cat inside told the TSA agents that the cat belongs to a relative. The owner of the cat was able to book another flight to Orlando the next day with the stowaway cat. I am sure that the TSA agent must have been shocked to see a cat that was alive inside of a traveler's bag at an airport checkpoint.

I saw this story on the news. Amazing to see the cat being let out of the bag (no pun intended), alive.

I have so many questions. Was the cat alive? How did it survive inside a closed case? Were these people charged with animal abuse?

The cat was alive when he was taken out of the bag, so far no charges on animal cruelty have been field. I am sure that the cat had a pocket of air inside of the bag to breathe.

That poor old cat was probably terrified with all the shuffling around and the airplane ride.

I am sure that the cat was scared indeed being inside of a travel bag at an airport.

It appears to be a fake act since the source of the image could have been altered by the news media source.

That is a good point that i did not think that cat could be suffocated being inside of a bag.

I would be shocked to see how low some people get dealing with their pet by placing him inside of a bag like that inside of an airport.
