After everything this poor kitty has gone through... I hope he gets better. I do know that cats that lose weight suddenly (due to starvation) can pose a serious health risk.
To: Slings and Arrows
Another update on Jack the Cat. Slowly but surely he’s improving.

The fact that he’s able to stand, although for a short time and that he’s eating a little on his own are great signs.

He definitely has the will to live. Silly as it sounds but you can see that in his eyes. Years ago, we had cats and one reached 38 pounds. Yes... it was a fat cat. Anyways, our vet lectured us and lectured us about fatty livers and cats... so we switched to a lower calorie food and she “slowly dieted” for months and months.

IIRC I’ve seen studies that say yo yo severe dieting and weight gain in humans are actually worse for one’s health than being obese.

I couldn’t argue with that if I tried. How many times have you heard that someone dropped 30 pounds quickly and then regained 25 and then dropped 10. It is crazy. Slow and steady... wins the race.

My brother has always held that "If you have a sick cat and can get all of the parts into the same room, it will recover." He should know 'cuz he and his wife have fostered dozens of cats over the years.

I imagine a baggage area would be a noisy, scary place to be for a housecat...

Also, you can BET the AA’s attorney’s have told the airline to pay for everything, and give this woman whatever she wants, to keep the lawsuits away...

Considering how we Americana feel about our pets, that is not only the right thing but the smart thing to do.
Jack in his better days:

IIRC this cat is no Spring Chicken either. He’s older, and that will also add to the mix.
Hoping the kitty makes it OK. He’s been through a lot.

Jack the cat (and several other lost cats, including one that was later found dead after Jack was lost) are being lost because TSA is opening the carriers to inspect them in an open area at JFK, instead of in a closed room, one at a time.

Disgusting! I suppose this is instead of getting our act together regarding terrorists and profiling behavior like Israel does.

Than again look how the TSA treats children, the elderly, and the sick.

Good to hear that Jack was saved from death-by-TSA, just in the nick of time. Here’s hoping that he continues to recover and that he’s able to go home well and happy.
Defund the TSA. Let the airlines take care of their own security. They care a lot more about it than the TSA PC zombies do. Reinstate profiling. Stop torturing your customers.
The airline industry will boom, but that’s not what zer0 wants, now is it.
