First off, why is this guys passing such a big deal? I had heard his name but had no idea who he was. I am sorry that this dude died but don't we have a lot more important things to report on right about now? Isn't there something sort of important coming up in November? Oh and don't we have a bunch of troops somewhere in a country about the size of California? And secondly, what kind of sickos gather together in large groups to take pictures of a body in a body bag being wheeled into a coroners van? When I saw that I turned away, give the guy a little privacy/dignity would ya? Our socity is in pretty bad shape when we can't leave the dead alone. Celebrity or not, this guy have family and I don't think they would love to see this on every channel.
But anyway, this is not about that. This is about a different news article that I saw.
Cat stowaway makes it home again
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Some kitty math: How many lives did little tabby Gracie Mae use up when she 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 far from home?
"She's got to be at four or five now," Seth Levy said after his 10-month-old pet was returned Sunday night by a kind stranger who went home to Fort Worth, Texas, with the wrong bag and Gracie inside to boot.
The last time Levy's wife, Kelly, saw Gracie was before she took her husband to the airport. The 24-year-old went back to her house in Palm Beach Gardens late Friday to find the bottom step, where Gracie would usually be waiting, empty.
She tore the house apart looking for the cat, who had been spayed just days before. She and her dad took out bathroom tiles and part of a cabinet to check a crawl space and papered the neighborhood with "lost cat" signs.
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.
"In the morning, I got close enough to see its collar and the phone number on it," he said. "So I called the number and got a hold of the crying wife of the traveler."
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.
"We were going to name it Suitcase," he said
So I have a question about this and I will try to keep it brief. What kind of demented F checks his cat? EVERYONE knows that cats are carry on!
But seriously, how do you now know there is a living animal in your suitcase? While we are at it, how did this not get noticed by the owner, the skycap, the desk agent, the luggage handlers or anyone else? You mean to tell me that a 10 month old kitten who just had surgery days before isn't going to be raising some holy hell zipped up in a suitcase? I call BS all over this story.
Dude I had a cat once … once. And it would not shut up if it didn't get its way, so you mean to tell me that this cat didn't make any noise? All the way to the airport, while being tagged, taken back or while being loaded onto the plane this cat didn't make a peep? Or even move for that matter? Put a cat in one of those carrier things, you would think the carrier was alive or possessed, hell I had one shoot out of my hand with a cat in it once. Come on, I don't buy this.
