As a pilot, you're busy doing a pre-flight check and making sure your passenger is set for takeoff. Everything's in order and you begin to climb up in the sky, until you realize your cat jumped aboard. It was certainly a harrowing experience for feline and human alike, but the viral video has a happy ending.

As the video succinctly notes, "Remove cat before flight." The pilot made sure his aircraft was in working order and didn't realize the cat had decided to hang out in the wings of the plane. During the flight, you can see the pilot and passenger are enjoying the view, but the third passenger soon makes its appearance around the 40 second mark of the video. Romain Jantot, the pilot realizes what is happening, but remains relatively calm about the situation. The cat does not seem to be enjoying its time in the air, but Jantot quickly turns the plane around and lands without incident.

Jantot checks on the stowaway and finds the cat to be stressed, but injury-free. The cat jumps down from the plane's wing and back to Earth. The video has sparked some debate about just how terrified the cat was during the flight. "A standard flight until... i still don't know if it got in after the pre flight check or if i missed it. The cat is doing well, she is still our mascot," Jantot wrote on YouTube.
