Speaker 1 (00:02):
I hear that you are Crazy Katley the best.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I love cats cat Basket, Two Girls, Three Cats, Congratulations
you beg on your transformation into crazy Catley. Hello and
welcome to yet another episode of Two Girls, Three Cats
with Me Sammy and Me Jenna, Jenna, what have you
got for me today?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So? I actually got sent this story and it really
piqued my interest. So I'm gonna just get straight into it.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
You've picked my interests. Go ahead, here's the headline. Cat's
out of the bag.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
TSA worker at JFK finds a cat in a suitcase
after the animal crept inside when the traveler was packing
to leave his friend's house.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, so we all know that when we're packing to
go on holiday or packing to go somewhere we're traveling,
the cat literally is always like I'm getting a little
of silk case.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Of course, and I mean they haven't seen the suitcase
for a while, so obviously that piques the interest.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
There's a lot of interest. So what happened then?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So basically, TSA offices at JFK International Airport in New
York discovered a cat stowed away inside a traveler's bag.
Oh my goodness, so a cat has made its way
so the airport.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Did they try to smuggle the cat? Or is the
cat got in there by accident?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Here's the thing, right, officers discovered the cat in a
piece of luggage as it was passing through security at
the airport.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
So just imagining, you know, when you put your carry
on through the yes, through the extra whatever it's called. Yeah,
and I always carry a teddy Bear. Okay, here we go. Yes,
I am an adult and I you know, especially I'm
going on long half flights of car I love that
and I always think they're going to look at it,
my teddy bet No, you think, what's the teddy bear thinking?
(01:46):
What was the cat thinking? No?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Going through?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Like what is going on?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Just nothing to declare, h and just so quite just
lying there like what is going on? And yeah, it's
actually really cozy in here, you know, a nice nice
little spot.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So so was this the point that they discovered the cat?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Here?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Right, let me continue.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It gets better. They noticed a tuft of orange fur
sticking out of a gap in the bag zipper, and
upon opening the suitcase, discovered the fearline.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Okay, so this is a ginger cat.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
There was a tough. I know, just a little bit
of fur just sticking a court the zip.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Whoever wrote this, honestly, they must own a cat, because
like I can just visualize it, just the tough of
hair sticking out of a suitcase.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I love that the cat just wasn't bothered though. So
the cat's in there, it's got its furs stuck in
the zip. Just doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
No, doesn't care at all. And you see, so this
answers your question. The man who owned the bag said
he did not know he had packed the cat, but
noted that it belonged to someone in the home he
just left.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Okay, so one of two things are happening here. One,
he's stolen the cat.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
He has stolen a cat.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Look, there's been many occasions that I've wanted to stell
a cat. Yeah I've done it. No, but I can
see he's got this lovely ginger cat. It's got this
tough to fer and he's like, you know what, that
would look great in the zip.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So's he's fell in love with his cat and he's
stolen it. Or the cat's done what cats do best
and it's got into the suitcase and gone.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Where we're going I'm thinking the latter.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Got his cat passport.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
How cute a little cat passport.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, and he's like, right, where are we off to you?
Then it's va time. Let's go to Vegas, baby, Vegas Baby. Yeah,
I'm living my best life. So what happened to the
cat in the end?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay? So officers later called the owner and asked whether
they wanted to press chargers, and the owner said she
hadn't even noticed the cat was missing. Whoa, but insisted
it was an accident and the cat must have climbed
into the bag.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Okay, so we're leaning into the fact that the cat
just wanted to go on holiday.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
However, how do you not notice that your cat's missing.
I'm guessing this was an outdoor cat. It had got
to be because with outdoor cats they can go missing
for like weeks, yehn't they. Yeah, but you just don't
know then if it's got enough plane to go somewhere. Yeah,
you literally think it was down the bottom of the garden. No,
it's on a plane exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
No. But the fact that she hadn't noticed the cat
was missing. Yeah, how can you not notice your cat
is missing?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Look, we're not judging you.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Person with a ginger cat. Yes, we're just saying, maybe
keep an eye on your your ginger found a bit more,
just be better because just imagine, yeah, just imagine if
Connie like disappeared and your mate had been around and
stayed with, you know, got their suitcase. You're like, wave
them off at the airport. See yeah, don't realize you're
saying good bye to Connie as well.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That would be my worst nightmare. That would not even exaggerating.
Oh and do you want to know the cat's name?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
What tofty?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Oh, that would be a good name.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The cat's name traveler, journey man, smells, smells, yeah, smells. Yeah,
what kind of name is smells? That's not a name?
Is no wonder the cat wanted to leave abuse. The
cat's like, I'm off to to Hawaii where they'll call
me by a proper name.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Exactly. But I love I love the last line of
this article, so it goes. The cat name smells like
what was reportedly completely unfazed by the ordeal.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Typical cat. I know, typical typical cat causes all the trouble,
doesn't even care.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
No, and plus I mean it would be quite cozy
in there. Yeah, we'd be Oh, they would love it,
They would love it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, I mean we did it, always trying to get
into small spaces like that, so they're living their best life.
You don't want to get your gym bag out, Yeah
I don't. You don't want to get your gym bag out,
or any bag. And the cat's like, oh, time for
me to get in the bag. Yes, get your work
laptop bag. Great place for me to lie. I think
I'm gonna sleep here. You can't get your laptop out
(05:43):
until I'm done.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Looks so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And then you spend all this money getting like a bag,
buying a bag for them to take them to the
vet or whatever, and then they would rather just get
in a stinky old gym bag with stinky socks and pants.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
They would rather get in the box that the bag
came in.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, they would rather get anything any manky old box,
manky old stinky smelly box, yes, smelly. I just want
to say we're here for you. Yeah, if you want
to get on a flight to Sydney, we're here. Look,
I think you're gonna struggle getting through immigration.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You are, But I mean it's worth a shot.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I could sponsor you.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I would love to sponsor you.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
What visas do they have for cats?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Surely there's something we can arrange. Yeah, we've got a
spare seed in here.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
In here smells.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
We're ready for you.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
