From ABCNews.com:

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.

First, I am thrilled that Continental Airlines is helping get Emily the cat back home.  I am even more enthralled with the fact that they are not stowing the animal in the cargo hold for the trip across the pond.  She even gets a human escort (most likely an airline employee).  As much as I hate Continental for losing my luggage every single time I have flown with them, this certainly scores them some much needed brownie points in my book.

Second, it is simply amazing that the cat survived an ocean trip, was treated with kindness once overseas, and has found such welcoming and warm advocates to assist in getting her home to those who no doubt miss her very much and are worried for her safety.

Finally, this is one well-traveled cat.  America to Belgium to France and back to America all in the span of months.  I certainly am jealous.
