The cat, named "Smells," snuck into a suitcase as someone in his household was flying to Orlando last week.
As you could imagine, the officers were quite shocked.
Cat's out of the bag when TSA finds stowaway feline at JFK
As the bag went through the X-ray unit on Nov. 16, a TSA agent was shocked when inside, four paws and a tail belonging to a feline stowaway were found.
"On the bright side, the cat's out of the bag," a TSA spokesperson tweeted Tuesday.
The traveler said it belonged to someone they live with, but didn't elaborate on how it ended up in the bag.
The cat wasn't hurt.
TSA tweeted a new picture of Smells saying, "Apparently Smells was planning to chase after a big mouse he heard was running around Disneyworld."
