10. There are likely all kinds of things for a cat to eat in the shipping area of an airport

Bugs, rodentia, etc.

That's why humans domesticated them.

8. I needed this

Someone must have helped this precious little guy, probably several someones, and with all the animal abuse stories I see I needed to see this furry angel alive and well.

11. I assume AA will by flying him home first class.

It's the least they can do. I'm so glad to hear this handsome boy is going home soon.

14. When I was doing post-Katrina cleanup in Pearlington, Miss., I was told about a family

that had left their cat behind as the flood waters were rising in their home during the night. They returned weeks later and heard a feeble meow while they were removing debris. They found their kitty inside the box springs of their bed on the second floor. They had not heard it on their first visit back to their home about a week after Katrina. The cat was nothing but skin and bones, and they had to literally crawl under the bed and gently take it out because it was so weak. But it lived and was doing well.

Probably on Life #8 by now.

Great story. Thanks for showing it.

16. Aww . . . What a Sweet Story

Thanks for posting it; quite uplifting.

What a beautiful cat! I'm so happy for him and his owners. Yeah, some kind employees at the airport must have been feeding him. And he's not the first to get lost at that airport. Glad his story is going to have a happy ending.

17. I'm more of a dog-lover, but that is

a stunningly beautiful cat! So glad he is finally going home to his family. :)
