A passenger plane was forced to return to the airport in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum after an angry cat, which somehow got into the cockpit, attacked the pilots shortly after takeoff, local media reports. This Wednesday's flight of the Sudanese Tarco airline bound for Qatar’s capital, Doha, was proceeding in a totally routine manner – that is, until a most unlikely passenger caused an emergency mid-air.
Having departed from the Khartoum International Airport, the plane was in the air for roughly half an hour when an unregistered passenger was spotted inside the pilot’s cabin. The passenger in question was a ferocious cat, according to a report by the local news outlet Al-Sudani.

Very pretty, sans the snarl. We have four gray tabbies and a black tuxedo cat. All blood related. Surly cats are a thing to avoid, until they cool down. Funny, though, when one irritates another and they give them a swat. Just last night, a brother and sister were sitting on a cart under the kitchen window, and he was preparing to jump down. His sister looked at him like he’d just farted, and gave him a good swat on the ass as he was preparing to leap. He had a very surprised look on his face on the way down. He wasn’t expecting the assist on launch. LOL
Coffee, Tea or Meow?
So now, we can expect a luggage scan, a carry-on scan, a full body scan and a CAT scan as well?
That is one mean looking pussy.
But enough about Hillary.....
How do we know it was a cat and not an al Qaeda type with a cat zoom filter turned on?
What did we do to make the cat so angry? We should try to understand its rage. Give it a job.
The cat thought that it was attacking a “Cockatoo”, not a “cockpit”.
The kitty looks like he has had a kitty stroke his face is slightly paralyzed in his eye and mouth!! POOR BABY!!!
How can you not handle a cat? Break its neck or swing it against the door.
Forty-five years ago or better, I knew an old guy that had one of the first pilot’s licenses issued in Kansas in the barnstorming days fifty year prior. He told a story of agreeing to ferry his sister’s cat home in his plane and how it went 3D berserk after he took off. It went like a lion in a washing machine over the ceiling and his face until he got back on the ground.
so much for “allah akbar”! Hooray for kitty! Instead of “allah akbar”, kitty said “I’ll give you a scar!”
Aww, somebody’s therapy animal got loose.
Mark Twain said that “a man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way”.
How ignorant you are. Too bad you have to show it here.
Clearly, a catastrophe....
It’s amazing how much havoc a pissed-off 20-pound ball of fur, teeth and claws can cause in a small enclosed space.
I can just imagine the pilot and copilot losing their minds, cursing and hollering trying to restrain the Flying Feline Guillotine ... would LOVE to hear the cockpit audio...
Compare that cat with the circulated picture of the UN climate “How dare you” hag child....
They kind of look the same!
geez....were they using a curtain as a cockpit door ? How does a cat get through a locked door ?
Must have been an emotional support kiity for some deranged pet freak.
