Cat’s meow foils ‘pregnant’ Chinese student’s ploy to sneak pet on train under her clothes
Woman let off with a warning by station security staff after hiding animal beneath her jacket while pretending to be expectant mother
A Chinese university student’s ploy to sneak her cat on board a train by sticking it under her clothes and feigning pregnancy failed after the animal started meowing at a security checkpoint, mainland media reported.
The unnamed woman tried to conceal the cat under her clothes by feigning pregnancy because she knew that live animals were not permitted on trains, the news website Thepaper.cn reported.
The pet was discovered as the student was passing through the checkpoint at Lishui train station, in eastern Zhejiang province, on Monday night.
The student then refused to cooperate when the guard assured her that metal detector sensors would not harm her “foetus”.
