Where's Jack?
owner's travel kennel a week ago at JFK International in New York and is now on the run. As airport officials and his frantic owner, Karen Pascoe, continue to search for the missing feline, Jack has set up his own Facebook and Twitter accounts. He has more than 9,000 Facebook fans.
According to a story in the Herald Sun, Pascoe last saw her long-haired tawny-colored cat when she dropped him off, along with Jack's "brother," Barry, on Aug. 25 at baggage services for an American Airlines cross-country flight to San Jose, where she was to start a new job:
But Ms Pascoe made it no further than the food court when she got a call from an airline employee saying Jack had taken a powder and they believed he was in the inbound baggage claim area, ABC News reported.Then everything really got complicated with the approach of Hurricane Irene.
The airline has flown Jack's owner back to New York to help with the renewed search now that the storm has passed. It is believed that Jack may still be within the airport, but there have been no sightings.
Daily briefings are held for the airport staff.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

@jackthelostcat is not the REAL twitter account for this. There have been a number of fake accounts that have been established. I am friends with Karen and the REAL twitter account is @findjackthecat.
