Dear God, I hope my cat never does that ... he weighs 25 pounds!!

A Canadian cat turned jet set traveller after jumping into a suitcase before her owner flew off to a conference.

It was a big adventure for Ginger who is not normally allowed outdoors, reports ITN News.

Her owner Mary Martell had packed a suitcase for a business trip and brought it downstairs but without closing it fully and Ginger jumped in.

Ginger got as far as the airport baggage scanners before security officers spotted the odd shape in the suitcase, but Mrs Martell convinced them it was coat.

Her suitcase was cleared unopened and loaded onto an Air Canada jet for a two-hour trip to Toronto.

Several hours later, in a hotel in Niagara, Mrs Martell finally unpacked and discovered Ginger.
