NEW YORK (Reuters) - A house cat found in France about a month after wandering from her home in Wisconsin is set to fly business class home from Paris to Newark, New Jersey, Continental Airlines said on Wednesday.
The cat, called Emily, escaped from her house in Appleton, Wisconsin, in late September, wandering over to a distribution centre and eventually ending up on a sea container that landed in Belgium.
Workers at a laminating company in Nancy, France, found the cat, which was wearing ID tags, nearly a month after it disappeared.
Continental said it contacted and offered assistance to Emily's owners, who accepted the carrier's offer of a business class seat from Paris to Newark, one of the New York area's three major airports.
The cat, which is leaving after a month in French quarantine, will make the trip on Thursday in a carrying case and have an escort, probably an airline employee, said airline spokeswoman Courtney Wilcox.
Its menu has yet to be determined, she said.
