Cat Stowaway Makes it through Security
How many lives does Gracie Mae have left now?
If you've lost your luggage even once, you know frustration. And if you've grabbed the wrong one, even more so.
AP News PhotoBut Rob Carter has one up on you. He found a live kitten inside the luggage he accidently took home last week.
It started in Florida when Kelly Levy took her husband to the airport in Palm Beach Gardens late Friday. She returned home and expected to see her kitten, Gracie, waiting for her on the step.
Like a true cat lover, she tore her house apart (including a cabinet in her bathroom) looking for Gracie, who had been spayed a few days earlier.
Then she moved onto posting signs throughout her neighborhood.
When she got the call telling her Gracie had been found, she wasn't prepared for the caller to be reaching out to her from Fort Worth Texas.
Carter was just as shocked as Levy though.
"I went to unpack and saw some of the clothes and saw it wasn't my suitcase," he said. "I was going to close it, and a kitten jumped out and ran under the bed. I screamed like a little girl."
Carter eventually coaxed the cat out from under the bed and called the number on the collar. Gracie did the return flight home on an $80 plane ticket in more comfortable conditions.
Anyone else wondering how a live animal makes it through the X-ray machines and down the conveyer belt without being noticed? Or hurt?
