This story was on Channel 4 last night. I don't understand why it took 3 weeks to find the cat. Did the owner not say anything when she got off the plane about the cat being on the plane?

Cat Found On United Plane After Weeks Of Travel
(CBS4) DENVER A cat was recovering at the Alameda East Animal Hospital Wednesday after spending 3 weeks in the cargo hold of a United Airlines airplane. The tired, hungry and dirty animal was found Wednesday by workers at Denver International Airport.
The cat, named Pumpkin, was lost on Dec. 28, 2006 when her owner arrived in Washington, D.C.
The jet she was found living on had made trips to Germany, Asia and crisscrossed the United States in the time since then.
Veterinarians said Pumpkin was recovering and appeared to be in pretty good shape considering the 3 weeks she'd been trapped on the plane.
"I'm not sure what she's managed to survive on," said Andrea Barlow, the cat's owner, by telephone. "I'm not really sure what she's been eating or drinking but she's managed to survive which is great news."
Veterinarians hope Pumpkin will be able to travel back to Washington, D.C. by the weekend.
