'Lessons learned: don’t take your fancy indoor cat outdoors no matter how prepared you think you are': The heart-pounding tale of a couple whose cat escaped their tent on their first camping trip, embarked on a desperate search and a miraculous rescue

Let's be honest, we have all thought about it at one point or another. 'What if I were to put a harness on my cat child and head out into the world with them? We could travel together, eat a sardines under the Eiffel Tower, share a glass or two of purrsecco in Venice and generally live a really full life together.'.

And while most of us stop at the thought stage, realizing that our cat children are far too anti-social for world travel, and would be hard-pressed to make it past TSA without throwing a hissing fit, the couple from today's story kept going and made their travel kitty dreams a reality. Now, we do have to give them some props for actually taking the leap that so many a terrified to do. But maybe they should have stopped to ask themselves, at one point or another, why so many others do not even attempt this act of daring do? Well, they found out soon enough, and all the juicy details of how it happened are right down below.
