TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein tweeted about the traveling mishap on March 3, saying the incident occurred at Virginia’s Norfolk International Airport. “Just when you thought it was safe to bring your pet cat on a trip,” Farbstein said, along with an orange X-ray image of the feline crouched down in a bag. “…Attention pet owners: Please do not send your pet through the X-ray unit. In November, an orange cat was found in someone’s checked luggage as it went through an X-ray unit, one of several odd things detected in airport luggage scans last year. You need to let the cat out of the bag during security screening,” the agency said.
