My son and I took advantage of a beautiful October day to fly to Blairstown, New Jersey and catch the fall foliage. Sipping a Coke and watching the arrivals and departures, we saw a bright orange Grumman Tiger taxi in. From it emerged a man and a woman; the woman seemed to be carrying a big fur hat in her arms. As they approached, I realized it was a cat!

Me:
“You take your cat flying?”

The Woman from the Tiger:
“Yes, and she loves it.”

I shook my head in amazement.

The Woman from the Tiger:
“And she’s not just a cat – she’s a Grumman cat!”
