When Isle of Man residents Nick and Voirrey Coole were getting ready for a vacation to New York, they didn’t intend to pack their pet cat, Candy, into their luggage — but that’s exactly what happened!
The Cooles said that their first tip that something was out of the ordinary was when they noticed the airport staff giving them odd looks as their baggage went through the scanner.
“It must have looked quite unusual on the scanner. At the point at which they scanned it, they were all scratching heads and they were all looking at each other,” Nick explained in aninterview with the BBC.
“They were looking at us so bizarrely,” Voirrey added. The pair were headed to the Big Apple to celebrate Nick’s 40th birthday.
“They were double-taking at us constantly, and it was like they couldn’t quite work out what on Earth was going on,” Nick continued.

“The second they realized it was a genuine mistake, and we had actually brought our cat through airport security, at that point, they just laughed and they were fantastic,” Nick said.

Nick shared the experience onFacebook, complete with photos of Candy with one of the security agents.
“You know that feeling, when you get ushered into a side room at airport security because you’ve got a cat in your hand luggage 😂🤦♂️,” he wrote.
“Candy decided to sneak into our hand bag, thanks Barry and Lorna for picking her up so we can head off on our holiday. Fair play to airport security for helping to get her home so we could catch our flight 😂😂🤦♂️.”
