It sounds like it was a company cat and it got into one of the crates.
It doesn't seem as though there's a LOT of blame to place on the
people. At least they considered it a pet rather than an entree. ;)
I guess they will now have a policy of a final check of crates before
sealing.

The manifest would have said parrots not cages if they were occupied
so I think we can safely conclude it was a cage only shipment. The
container would't have live birds on a slow boat for the same reason
the cat didn't do too well.

The fact both cats went missing at the same time makes my suspicious
side think that some employee *arranged* the disappearance.
