Enough already with the kitten!

News, and then more news, of the amazing, indestructible kitten that (accidentally) flew in stowed luggage from Fort Lauderdale to Dallas has thoroughly touched and exasperated us all.

Please, people, don’t check your kittens in your luggage.

In the meantime, if I’m brought to a smile by the sight of that wide-eyed feline one more time—or hear one more joke of the “cat's out of the bag” or “first flight at kitten hawk” variety—I will not be responsible for my actions.

Please don’t look at photos or video of the kitten’s (adorable) story here, or here, or here. And do not, for the love of all that's sacred, reward the Daily News by looking at this colorful kitty-chart illustrating the heroic, nearly cat-astrophic (if you can't beat 'em...) flight. Finally, here’s your inevitable Google search, which you shouldn’t do.
