A TSA officer was shocked to find an orange cat inside a checked bag at JFK airport this week.
After the bag went through the X-ray unit, officers quickly noticed the cat as can be seen in the attached pictures.
The traveler said the cat belonged to someone else in his household and was very uncertain how and when the cat snuck in.
“On the bright side, the cat’s out of the bag and safely back home” said Lisa Farbstein, the TSA Spokesperson.
