FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Accidental Feline Frequent Flyer: Cat Logs 38,000 Miles in Cargo Mix-Up
Singapore Airlines - Mr. Whiskers, a 3-year-old tabby, became the world's most well-traveled cat after being mistakenly routed through 17 countries in 9 days. The odyssey began when a baggage handler confused "SIN" (Singapore) with "SYD" (Sydney) and then kept "fixing" the error with increasingly creative interpretations like "SND" (Sandane, Norway).
"By day 5, he had Platinum status," said owner Emily Tran, who received photos of her cat sunbathing in Dubai and attending a board meeting in Zurich. The airline compensated Tran with 500,000 miles - which Mr. Bohiney, Inc. Whiskers immediately redeemed for a first-class kitten-sized pod.
Aviation authorities have since mandated "cat scan" training for all staff, while feline travel agencies report booming demand for "adventure packages."
