Airline sued for $5m over lost cat

A SAN FRANCISCO couple is suing Air Canada for $5 million claiming the airline lost their tab

Their lawyer said the suit is the largest ever filed over a cat. Andrew Wysotski and Lori Learmont accuse the company of negligence, emotional distress, fraud and false advertising.

The couple said they placed 15-year-old Fu in an airline-supplied plastic crate, but on arrival in San Francisco they discovered that Fu’s crate had a large hole in a corner, the front door was broken and open, and the cat was gone.
