Cat found in bag going through TSA security at Kennedy Airport

Guards at Kennedy Airport were shocked to discover a cat stuck in a checked bag going through security, the Transportation Security Administration said Tuesday, adding that the feline was no worse for the unexpected journey.

The feline, which appeared in photos to have orange fur, went undetected until it popped up on an X-ray of the suitcase at the Queens hub on Nov. 16, a TSA spokesperson said.

Airport officials found the bag’s owner, who said the cat belonged to someone he lives with, the spokesperson said in a tweet.

“On the bright site, the cat’s out of the bag and safely back home,” she wrote.
