Cat From Florida Flies To Texas In Suitcase

FORT WORTH, Texas (CBS) ― A shy 10-month-old tabby has quite a story to tell after traveling across the country inside a suitcase, according to CBS station KTVT-TV in Dallas.

Gracie Mae's owner, Kelly Levy, was worried the morning her husband, Seth, left Florida for a flight to North Texas. They hadn't seen their cat since the early evening.

Levy searched the usual places a fearful cat would hide - including a crawl space in the bathroom wall. Levy even had some of the tiles removed to make sure the recently spayed and still-recovering kitten wasn't stuck.

"I started to tear the house apart. I was frantic. I couldn't find her," the 24-year-old told The South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

She even posted "lost cat" signs in her neighborhood.

As Kelly Levy searched for the kitten, her husband couldn't find his suitcase when he arrived at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport baggage claim.

Someone else picked up the suitcase and found the lost pet tucked in Seth Levy's clothes.

As Kelly told the newspaper, the man who retrieved her husband's bag called to tell her of his surprise find.

The man agreed to hold onto Gracie Mae until Seth could pick her up later Saturday, Mrs. Levy said.

Gracie Mae returned safely home Sunday night on an $80 plane ticket, the newspaper reported.
