We love to give our cats the royal treatment whenever we can, but sometimes we have to save a penny or two. This cat owner couldn't afford a first class seat for himself and his feline friend, but that didn't stop this adventurous kitty from wanting to experience the finer things in life. On a flight from Dallas to San Francisco, this sneaky cat escaped his cat carrier and went in search of champagne and caviar - straight to first class.

Some passengers noticed something moving underneath their feet, and it felt, well, fuzzier than the normal plane turbulence you feel during the flight. Luckily, a cat-loving flight attendant helped return the kitty to his rightful owner (although we don't blame the cat for trying to reach for the stars). Sadly, he was forced to take his assigned seat back with the rest of us, in Economy. Better luck next time, kitty!

Of course the cat wanted to be in first class! Who doesn't? Unfortunately, we can't go sneaking around under seats in order to get there. There are two problems with this: We don't fit under the seats, and we're not cute enough for it to be funny. People would just think we're weird.

Look at his face - it's the face of "H*ck I just got founded. I would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!". You were so close, little kitty. That roasted salmon was almost within your paw!
