A cat was found inside a traveler's checked luggage at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport last week, the Transportation Security Administration said.
The TSA confirmed its "hiss-toric find" on Twitter Tuesday. In an image shared by the agency, the cat's outline can be seen in an X-ray of the luggage. Another photo shows a tuft of orange fur peaking out of the suitcase's zipper.
Spokesperson Lisa Farbstein told USA TODAY Wednesday morning that a TSA officer found the orange cat after the bag "triggered an alarm" while going through the standard X-ray screening for checked luggage on Nov. 16. The officer then saw the surprising X-ray image.

Hakeem Jeffries launched his bid to be Nancy Pelosi's successor. Some see him as a positive force for racial justice, but others are concerned about his silence toward left-wing progressive issues.
The congressman has advocated for racial justice and voting rights, but has also remained silent toward other progressive issues like the environment.Jeffries, a Brooklyn native, would make history by becoming the first Black lawmaker to lead a party in Congress. And, at 52, Jeffries would represent a generational change from the current House Democratic leaders, who are three decades his senior (Pelosi is 82 years old).

The traveler told officials the cat belonged to someone else who lived in his household, Farbstein said. She didn't update the condition of the cat, but noted it was returned home after leaving JFK airport.
"On the bright side, the cat’s out of the bag and safely back home," Farbstein wrote on Twitter Tuesday.
She told USA TODAY the traveler, who was traveling from New York with a final destination in Orlando, was "able to rebook his flight for the next day without the cat."
USA TODAY reached out to Delta Airlines for comment Wednesday morning.

The TSA notes that animals should never be put through an airport's X-ray tunnel. Dogs and cats, for example, can either be screened privately in a separate room or walk with a traveler through the metal detector on a leash, Farbstein said. But an empty pet carrier with still need to go through security's X-ray to ensure there are no prohibited items.
Each airline's policy for traveling with animals is different, so check with your carrier before you get to the airport about carry-on policies and/or special shipping options. Different rules apply to certain pets.
