Emily the tabby cat has had one shitty first year of life. After running away from home and hiding in a paper plant, the kitty wound up stuffed into bales of paper, shipped to Chicago, and then literally SHIPPED, like, on a big boat, to Belgium. She was later discovered in a plant in Nancy, France.
Instead of eating her, as French people are wont to do, the workers at the plant called the vet's name on her tags, who put her in touch with her owners in Wisconsin. So now she's on her way back and should be arriving home any time today, accompanied by a rep from Continental Airlines, who desperately needs the positive PR and is flying Emily home business class, free of charge, which turns out to be a $6,000 bargain.
Lucky cat. We usually get seats by the engine or toilets. Nothing like smelling airline food both before and after for six hours.
