Jack disappeared on August 25 when Ms Pascoe[Jack's person], was relocating from New York to San Francisco for a new job, taking Jack and his 'brother' Barry along for the ride.

Of the disappearance she said: 'We cleared security and I said goodbye to them as the American Airlines handler was putting the plastic ties around the kennel door.'

After going to get dinner she was called to say Jack was missing in the inbound baggage area.

A Department of Transportation Pet Incident Report released on October 13 revealed exactly how Jack was lost.

Each of Miss Pascoe’s cats had its own kennel, which a clerk stacked one on top of the other.

The top kennel fell and Jack escaped.

The unusual instance of 'lost luggage' had turned into a PR nightmare for AA, who faced an outpouring of anger from pet-lovers and sympathetic campaigners.

Jack before the incident:

[who knows what evil?]

Thanks...my wife was suspicious that someone had opened the door to pet the cat, and ZIP...he was gone.
