After spending two months stranded at JFK airport, Jack the Cat died on Sunday, just 12 days after being reunited with his owner, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The feline won the hearts of pet lovers and travelers alike when he escaped from his carry case after it toppled off a pile and opened in the American Airlines baggage area on August 25.

Jack's more than 24,000 Facebook followers celebrated what they thought was a happy ending to his story when the Norwegian Forest cat fell through the ceiling of the Terminal 8 customs area of New York airport two months later.
