MIAMI - A kitten survived a plane trip halfway across the United States after accidentally ending up in a suitcase, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

LOL..the local radio station interviewed the wife yesterday morning while I was on the way to work - a funny story with a happy ending!
Stowaway cat survives icy flight
If a Florida kitten named Gracie Mae could talk, what a story she'd have to tell.
The 10-month-old tabby stowed away in her owner's luggage and survived a flight from Florida to Texas in an American Airlines jet's subfreezing cargo hold.
"My poor cat, who just had surgery, survives being packed away in the suitcase, going through the Fort Lauderdale baggage process, going through the X-ray, being loaded onto the airplane, flown four hours to Texas and unloaded," said the cat's owner, Kelly Levy of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
Gracie Mae's adventure began Friday when she jumped in Levy's husband's large suitcase and got zipped inside unnoticed, Levy told the Sun-Sentinel newspaper.
In a twist right out of "Tom and Jerry," a stranger accidently grabbed Seth Levy's bag at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and took it home.
