Runway cat
Lounging cat blocks plane at Ben Gurion
A Ukraine International Airlines flight landing in Tel Aviv had to wait on the tarmac whilst a stubborn cat laid before the plane. Neither rumbling engines nor flashing lights could persuade the feline to cede its position.
Passengers aboard a Ukraine International Airlines flight that landed in Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport on Tuesday night suffered a feline delay. A lounging cat decided to plant itself on the runway leading to Terminal 3.
The landing began normally, but the Boeing aircraft encountered the animal en route to the Terminal-3 access road. The pilot stopped the plane a few meters before the cat and waited.

Finally, a car from the Israel Airports Authority was dispatched to chase away the feline. The cat scurried off, and according to airport employees, his current location is unknown.
