Seth Levy's Cat, Gracie Mae, crawled into her owner's suitcase, went through an airport X-ray machine, got loaded onto a plane, thrown onto a baggage belt and mistakenly picked up by a stranger and taken to Fort Worth Texas.
The last time Levy's wife, Kelly, saw Gracie was before she took her husband to the airport.
She tore her Palm Beach home apart looking for the cat, who had been spayed just days before.
Then she got a phone call.
"Hi, you're not going to believe this, but I am calling from Fort Worth, Texas, and I accidentally picked up your husband's luggage. And when I opened the luggage, a cat jumped out," Kelly Levy quoted the caller saying.
Rob Carter said he made it home with the suitcase before realizing it wasn't his -- and there was a big surprise inside.
"I went to unpack and saw some of the clothes and saw it wasn't my suitcase," he said. "I was going to close it, and a kitten jumped out and ran under the bed. I screamed like a little girl."
Carter said that he eventually was able to get the cat to come out from under the bed.
The tabby made the 1,300-mile trip home on an $80 plane ticket. Carter said he considered keeping the cat before he knew she had a home.

That's such a great story, ... (Below threshold)1. Posted by langtry | January 23, 2008 12:19 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
That's such a great story, Tracey! Isn't it good to know that this little kitty girl was going to have a home if they couldn't find the owner? If I could afford it, I'd send that guy a giant reward. AS it is, if he's young and single, he's going to score a lot of points with single women (or men, lol).
