Helga hid in her slave's bag and flew -checked in luggage - from north to
south Sweden only to be discovered, 6 hrs after the bag being closed, when
the suitcase went "meow" as it was loaded in to the car on arrival. Helga
was slightly short of breath and somewhat stressed but soon returned to her
normal happy self. A telephone call was made to make sure the other two cats
were still at home. Slave and cat will be returning home by train.

Tyson 1.5 yo went missing when his slave went on holidays 15 years ago, cat
sitter looked all over for him but he was nowhere to be found.
A woman and her children found a hungry, skinny cat a while back and
brought him to a vet clinic. The clinic managed to locate the old slave
through Tyson's ear tattoo (common id for both cats and dogs in Sweden). The
old tattoo was difficult to read so it took some tree weeks detective work
by one of the employees with calls to similar id numbers and thanks to the
slave's unusual name she could be located even if the register wasn't
updated with contact info. Tyson is deaf and don't see much but has
otherwise returned to health and enjoys life with his family and the other
cats of the house. The old slave wonders if he has been living with someone
all this time - 1991-2006 - and is waiting to see if someone else out there
is missing him too.

Years ago, when I was a graduate student, I was packing to leave for
college. I was traveling by train and was shipping a foot locker (trunk)
ahead because I would be gone for 9 months. I left the room to get one
final item, and I had one of those large fake fur collars on the very top of
the foot locker (the type of big fur or faux collars that once were popular
on winter coats). I returned to the room, placed the last item in the foot
locker, and started to close the lid -- when the collar moved! My cat had
settled in on top, and I nearly shut him in the trunk. It could have been
disastrous! The trunk was very tightly packed, and it would be several days
before it would arrive at my destination. That still gives me chills, and I
learned another lesson in being careful about verifying where my cats are.
