Security officers at New York Airport check countless suitcases every day.

Only in one you will find something that you have never experienced before.

At John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, thousands of suitcases go through the security belt every day.

What is in the luggage is very different and sometimes quite strange.

So security officials shouldn't be shocked that quickly.

But an incident that you have never experienced before actually did it, as reported by landtiere.de.

Control at the airport: suitcase owner surprised – "That's not my cat"

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers go about their usual business at New York Airport.

They check all luggage for their contents.

But on the X-ray of a suitcase, they suddenly discover something unusual in addition to flip-flops, bottles and wine glasses: the outline of a life-size cat.

To get to the bottom of it all, the officers pull out the suitcase and carefully open it.

Her suspicion that there is a cat in the suitcase is confirmed.

A lively cat made itself comfortable in the suitcase between various utensils and slept soundly in it, reports

CNN

.

An abandoned kitten is found dead in a HelloFresh box.

Cat in a suitcase not only amazes security officials

Fortunately, the four-legged friend survived the transport to the inspection without any problems.

The stunned officials immediately go in search of the suitcase's owner, who fortunately is quickly found, but who is at least as shocked as the officials.

Especially since "Smell" is not even his cat, but that of his friends.

Because the resting place is almost fatal to a kitten, the police intervene.

The red cat must have climbed into the suitcase secretly and unnoticed.

The man apparently didn't notice that some animal hair was still sticking out of the zipper when he was closing the luggage at home.

While TSA officers see and experience a lot, "it's rare to find a live animal in a checked bag," TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein told

Checks at the airport: It is best to lock your luggage directly at home

After all the excitement, cat "Smell's" journey ends with her owners picking her up from the airport shortly after the incident.

Worrying about taking a distraught cat was for nothing: "I was afraid he'd freak out, but he didn't even meow on the way back," the owner tells the

New York Post

.

The trip from the suitcase owner, on the other hand, has been extended by one day.

He had to rebook the flight due to the delay.

The man does not have to reckon with legal consequences.

TSA spokeswoman Farbstein advises cat owners to pack their suitcases indoors and to lock them directly.

So no house cat can hide in it.
