Stowaway Wisconsin cat flies home in style

A Wisconsin cat has received the kind of red carpet treatment more associated with film stars than missing moggies as she returned home on Thursday.

Emily's business class seat on a flight from Paris and paparazzi greeting was a stark contrast to her outward journey.

Two months ago the year-old tabby cat sneaked into an office supplies company near her home in Appleton and hid in a container of paper bound for France.

After a three-week sea voyage the much thinner, but healthy cat, emerged.


Amazed staff in Nancy, France, took the cat to a vet where an ID collar bearing the number of Emily's vet in the US allowed them to trace her owners.
