Hello Kitty: Flight delayed 30 hours because of a cat

Passengers onboard Pakistan International Airlines flight 704 were grounded in Manchester, England, for 30 hours because pilots found a stray cat in the cockpit.
The flight landed in Manchester, “where a cat search operation was launched.” It obviously took a while.
The plane was grounded until the cat could be found, since nothing is supposed to get into the aircraft’s instruments. I guess this nixes my advice to American Airlines for their onboard rodent problems.
While the stray feline might not make the cut for the next volume of Animals Aloft, the cat was clearly on a mission. Perhaps tired of being cooped up in the cargo hold, and ready to take the controls? Toonces would be proud…

Maybe the cat was brought in to take care of the rodent problem. And it could have been much worse…it could have been SNAKES ON PLANES!!!
