Big news today from New York-JFK Airport! Jack the cat has been found alive and (mostly) well!

This fluffy orange tabby was lost by American Airlines way back on August 25 as the owner traveled from New York to California. The kitty's cage door came open before he was even onboard the plane, and Jack's disappearance made national headlines.

Finally the searches can be called off as Jack was located in the customs room at JFK. He's dehydrated and a bit skinnier, but a vet has checked him out and even confirmed that this is Jack, thanks to the chip in him. The chip company was the first the contact the owner after Jack was scanned, and everyone—including the rescue committee's massive Facebook group—is happy. Jack will be flown—this time with the cage door firmly closed—to California to be reunited with his owner and brother cat.

I wonder what made this cat so special

I wonder what made this cat so special that when it got lost, the news made headlines and it captured the attention of a country. Pets getting lost in airlines are in fact more common then we would think, but for one story to gain such infamy, is quite rare indeed. Thankfully the cat was found and largely safe and sound.
