Stitches the cat is soothing the nerves of frazzled fliers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
This month she became the first feline to join the airport’s 96 therapy dogs that serve as Animal Ambassadors to reduce stress and enhance the overall airport experience.
The airport posted a video on Twitter of the calico-tabby mix riding around in a cart with a sign that reads “Pet Me,” and enthusiastic responses rolled in, including from one person who said, “This is PAWWSOME!”
The 11-year-old feline, who makes the rounds on Fridays in the north rotunda of Terminal 1 and at the entrance to Concourse C, has helped relax anxious passengers who have stopped to cuddle and give the 13-pound cat neck rubs before getting on their flights.
Meanwhile, InsureMyTrip recently named MSP the 10th least stressful airport in America, based on flight cancellations.
