Cat Found In JFK Luggage Snuck Inside Suitcase, TSA Updates

QUEENS – After a cat was found inside the luggage of a traveler at John F. Kennedy airport, officials revealed the feline snuck into the passenger's suitcase.

Transportation Security Administration officials said Tuesday that “Smells” the cat snuck into the suitcase headed for Orlando last week and, after getting caught, enjoyed Thanksgiving at home in Brooklyn.

“Apparently Smells was planning to chase after a big mouse he heard was running around Disneyworld,” a TSA spokesperson said in a tweet.

An x-ray machine at the airport uncovered last week the feline’s attempt to hide in the suitcase. The cat belonged to someone else in the suitcase owner's household, according to a TSA spokesperson.
