Funny about that, eh?

I think that not only did they know the cat was there the whole time but one of them put the cat there. Note the camera placement. Instead of being centered on the human occupants, it was offset to show part of the left wing.

Because, as many pilots have pointed out, he could have hardly failed to notice the cat while preflighting the aircraft.

What a great video! I'm so happy the poor thing didn't back up.. I watched it again, and it's interesting to see the cat emerge as a little speck from the right.

Thanks for sharing.

I would agree; but cats are pretty sneaky at times........the cat could have hidden and jumped on, I don't know, was the cat strapped on? Was it staged? Either way that is still pretty terrific!!

Really? You think that if that was staged, and the poor cat might have died for a friggin stunt, "It's still pretty terrific?"

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

It was inside the wing, so it was safe.

Great video. Watching it hang out and enjoy the breeze had me chucklin'. The pilot clearly did not do is pre-flight inspection. How do you miss a cat in the wing?!?!?!

Me too Dave. Poor little precious one. It must have been terrified. It's a miracle it wasn't blown off.

Oh, no, no, I did not want the kitty to get hurt!!! Guess I did not explain myself. The cat looked like it was enjoying the flight..............I love animals..............would never do anything to hurt the little guys.....how am I going to get out of this, hmmmmmm, sorry, did not mean to sound callous, or offend anyone.

I just don't think it was staged, that's all. Now that I have painted myself into a corner, I will sign off for now.

Yeah, viral videos aren't what they used to be. At least they could try to look surprised.
