Oh, thank goodness! This ceiling cat must have been blessed by the ceiling cat itself to have made it through this traumatic situation! For those who have cats, you can imagine that flying with them would be one of the most stressful situations imaginable. Not just for the cats, but for us as well. And as their owners, we can't help but share their stress and pain. 

When Taylor Le was preparing to move across the country, from New York to Orange County, California, she of course was going to fly with her 6-year-old cat, Muji. The flight was scheduled to fly on Christmas Eve. As Taylor Le went through the security checkpoint at La Guardia Airport, the TSA agents had her remove Muji from her carrier. Taylor Le tried to persuade the agents otherwise, knowing that if Muji was outside her carrier, she would be liking to flee. Regardless of Taylor Le's protests, Muji was removed from her carrier, panicked, and fleed. 

Le told The Post about the pending cat-astrophe, "I said, 'She's gonna run. Do I have to take her out?' We walked through the metal detector and she got spooked, bit me, freaked out, and ran off." They told her yes.

The flee led her owner, and airport staff, on a wild goose chase that ended when Muji climbed up a series of platforms to a ceiling enclosure and then vanished within them. In the following days, the airport staff tried to lure out Muji with cans of tuna, and Taylor Le changed her flight for the following day, in hopes of finding Muji in time, but she didn't and boarded the flight to Orange County, completely distraught. 

When Nick and Voirrey Coole were getting ready for a vacation to New York a few days ago, they didn't intend to pack their pet cat, Candy, into their luggage — but that's exactly what happened!
The couple didn't even realize that their furry friend had decided to tag along by hiding in one of their carry- on bags because the feline wasn't discovered until they tried to get through security at the Isle of Man airport.
The Cooles said that their first tip that something was out of the ordinary was when they noticed the airport staff giving them odd looks as their baggage went through the scanner.
"It must have looked quite unusual on the scanner. At the point at which they scanned it, they were all scratching heads and they were all looking at each other," Nick explained in an interview with the BBC.

The couple shared it all on a facebook post. 

I'll admit it: I think my dog is better than 90% of the humans I know. Maybe 100%. I love spending time with him, he's always happy to see me, and all I have to do in return is feed him and pick up his poop. It's a good deal! Those with pets will know what I'm talking about. Our animals are our best friends, and we're not ashamed to admit it. 

When it comes to travelling, it's always bittersweet, knowing that my furry best friend is in a dog hostel while I'm seeing the world. But it doesn't have to be this way! You can take your dog or cat travelling with you. While getting out of airports is always a hassle, Doing so with your pets requires a little bit extra planning, and a some preparation. Some big airports are difficult to leave such as JFK airport or Ft. Lauderdale Airport and are known to be complex even without pets. Knowing what to do and what to prepare for, will make getting your good boy to you destinage that much smoother - Bon voyage.

One lucky airline passenger ended up with eight additional carry-ons at the Tampa International Airport last week. Diane Van Atter got the surprise of a lifetime when her service dog, Eleanor "Ellie" Rigby, suddenly went into labor while they were waiting to board a Philadelphia-bound flight on Friday. Travelers and employees looked on as the two-year-old yellow lab delivered eight healthy puppies inside the airport's main terminal. Her owners reportedly knew Ellie was pregnant, but did not know how close she was to delivery. 

Boarding all passengers on this direct flight to adorable!

Pepper the cat, is 4 years old and very fast. So fast that somehow she was able to escape her carrier and bolt from her owner who was checking in for a flight to China. Well, it's safe to say that after a week, and missed flight. Pepper the tabby, has been found and is safe and sound with her owner! 

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, cooler than a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce, it's Piper the Aviation Bird Dog, ready for duty. Via: The great big story

The wag brigade is a group of trained animals(usually dogs) that greet people coming through security at SFO. Traveling can be stressful and make people grumpy, so that's where the brigade comes in to help! 

His title is Wildlife Control Canine and he works for the Cherry Capital Airport in Michigan. What exactly does Piper do at his job? He chases away the birds, duh! And he looks pretty cool doing it.
