If you will read the following newswire item carefully, you will note that the cat scratched the co-pilot after lunch was served to the flight crew. I suspect that the cat is, plainly and simply, a critic of airline food (as I am). Unable to speak, the cat took the only possible way to express its opinion. Comments?

Flight Turns Back After Cat Scratches Pilot

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A cat running loose on a Belgian commercial flight attacked a pilot and forced the crew to turn back to the airport.

The gray cat, named "Gin," broke out of its cage about 20 minutes after take-off and scurried to the cockpit where it scratched the co-pilot, SN Brussels Airlines said Tuesday.

The flight with 62 crew and passengers had left Brussels for Vienna Monday when the cat, a prized animal that travels to cat shows around the world, started wandering around the passenger cabin.

"The passenger was asleep and at that point the cat managed to escape the cage," an airline spokesman said.

The cat managed to slip through the cockpit door as a flight attendant served lunch to the pilots.

The scared animal was "very aggressive and scratched the co-pilot," forcing the crew to return to the airport, the spokesman said.

The passengers were put on another flight to Vienna, without the cat and its owner, who had to take a separate flight there.
 
I think they should start searching airline passengers for concealed cats and rodents.

This story did remind me of the 'adventures' of a stowaway cat a few years ago. In a Tower Airlines 747 a cat got loose in the cargo area and fled. If I remember correctly it was at least a few days and several international flights before they finally got the cat to come out of hiding.

I guess it was not a critic of airline food

:D
 
Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7"
Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."
Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"
Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; And yes,we copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers."
Old, I know, but still painfully accurate.
