TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein tweeted a photo of the cat named Smells, getting ready to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal after he had sneaked into a checked bag at John F. Kennedy Airport last week. The suitcase was heading to Orlando, Florida.

According to WFLA, the owner of the suitcase said that the cat belonged to someone else in his house.

“Apparently Smells was planning to chase after a big mouse he heard was running around Disneyworld,” said Farbstein.
