Taking A Pet Project Too Far

And Where’s The Cat’s Passport, Madam?

A British woman arrived in Amsterdam for a holiday - only to find she had accidentally packed her kitten. When Helen Wilmore opened her suitcase, three-month-old Beauty clambered out after a 21-hour journey that included a 15-hour delay at Leeds-Bradford airport. Beauty is now in a cat sanctuary.

FOOTNOTE: Kitty flitter.

That's dangerous. If she flew not all storage ares on planes are pressurized. The kitten could have lost hearing and brain function from lack of oxygen. I hope the suitcase was a carry on.

Peace!

Awwww no! Poor thing! How on earth did it survive the cold in the hold? Must have been the clothing around it kept it warm and I have just read lee's comment - poor thing!

This is my worse nightmare with my kittens. We always do a head count... ;0)

I guess they didn't x-ray the bags.

I always worry about cats being accidentally carried off in trucks and things, out of their area. This is even worse. I haven't even got a cat now, but can still feel horror in this report.

Oh, that is sad...hope she gets a good home...the suitcase seems a bit to, oh I don't know, transient?

Our dog carries his own "Passwort", listing all his shots, his ID number. He can travel to any EU country, without any further documentation.
