Oh dear, oh dear!
Russian carrier Aeroflot has stripped a passenger of his air miles for breaching its rules by sneaking his overweight cat aboard a flight.
Mikhail Galin, 34, took his cat Viktor on board flight SU1702, from Moscow to Vladivostok, Aeroflot said.
Under Aeroflot's rules, pets weighing more than 8kg (17lb) must be placed in the luggage hold.
Because Viktor was too heavy for the passenger cabin, Mr Galin devised a cunning plan.
He swapped Viktor for a smaller cat during check-in to get around the weight restrictions.
