Jay Leno mentioned this in his monologue last night.  ;-)

Alert Secret Service men promptly wrestled the cat to the ground. It
is believed that he is a member of a right wing extremist faction of
the dreaded Dogmania group. Mice around the world quickly issued
statements renouncing cats, in general.

The UN has issued strongly worded complaints against the pilot for his
role in the attack. They said that he should not have been in the
cockpit, but should have been piloting the plane from the baggage
compartment. They have suggested that airplanes no longer be allowed
to have pilots, but that they be allowed "self determination" to go
where they want.

Arab countries have said that the pilot should not have been allowed
to have skin, as that was a contributing factor in the injuries
suffered by the scratching and it provoked the cat. They point to a
little known passage in the Quoran that seems to state that airplane
pilots should not allow their skin to be seen by angry cats while in
the air.

New rules have been put into effect throughout the world's airlines
that teeth and claws can not be "carry on" in a plane, they must be
checked as baggage. Because of fears of unruly human passengers, that
rule has been extended to humans, also.

In Hollywood, film makers have begun shooting of several stories based
on the incident. One is reported to star flipper. When contacted by
reporters, the studio stated that dolfins are easier to work with than
cats.

More on our eleven o'clock news report.

I hope the cat is safe and back with their human.
