A cat is now being cared for by an animal charity after it was abandoned at Oslo Gardermoen airport. Norwegian Airlines staff originally denied its owner – a woman in her 30s – permission to take the cat on board a flight to London as she hadn’t given prior notice. The check-in staff became suspicious when she returned without the cat 30 minutes later and attempted to check in without it.

Animal Protection Norway confirmed that they would not be returning the cat to the woman. Read more: thelocal.no
