Cats like holiday bargains too - moggy stows away in aircraft wing

Who says pets don’t enjoy holiday bargains as much we do? A cat who took a nap inside the wing of a microlight aircraft earlier this month enjoyed a free flight when the plane took off.

The cat usually stays on the ground at the Ultra Léger Motorisé aeronautics club in French Guiana, but was unable to resist climbing into the fabric wing of the two seater.

As soon as the pilot noticed the stowaway, the pilot returned to the airport. The cat was unharmed.

Are you feeling better? A study has revealed that funny video clips featuring cats can have health benefits.

7,000 people took part in a study by Indiana University Media School by filling out a survey about how cat videos affect their moods. It was found that funny cat videos boost energy and positive emotions, and decrease negative feelings.
