The Boeing 737 was set to depart last week when crew members heard mysterious meows coming from inside the aircraft. Engineers discovered the culprit upon inspection—a stowaway cat nestled deep within the plane's electrical bay.
However, each attempt to retrieve the furry fugitive only sent it scurrying further into the intricate mechanisms, raising alarms about potential mid-air disaster.
With no other options, engineers grounded the flight, fearing that the cat's presence could interfere with the aircraft's vital systems.
A waiting game ensued. Instead of high-tech tools or elaborate rescue plans, the solution proved to be simple: patience. After two days of evading capture, the cat finally emerged of its own accord when a door was left open.
With the feline fugitive finally gone, the plane was cleared for takeoff and successfully departed for Germany on Monday—minus one unexpected passenger.
