The curious cat who wound up traveling to France in a cargo container touched down at the Milwaukee airport on Thursday, greeted by her family and a horde of reporters.

A Continental cargo agent handed her over to 9-year-old Nick Herndon, son of the cat's owners, Donny and Lesly McElhiney. Emily meowed and pawed at reporters' microphones as the family answered questions.

Came back wearing a beret and sporting an even snottier attitude then the one it left with.

Dec. 1: Emily, a stowaway cat, looks through the plane window before heading to Wisconsin at Roissy airport, north of Paris.

"She'll be held onto a lot all the way home. And then when we get home, too, she'll be cuddled a lot," Donny McElhiney said.

That's so sweet.

I love happy endings :)

Thanks for the ping.

Glad to hear there was a happy ending.

I read the original article, when they first discovered the cat in France.

The saga of Miss Emily is a wonderful story. I see a book deal in her future. She's some kitty!

Cute pic of the cat looking out the window ... Emily is a good name for a little girl cat.
