During that time, Steve stayed with his owner's friend, patiently waiting for his human's return and their fresh start in life. 

When his owner finally came back, she brought him a special surprise – a handmade cat sweater to keep him warm during the journey in the luggage compartment.

At first, like most cats, Steve wasn't thrilled with the extra layer. However, by the time the plane landed, he seemed to have adjusted and realized how it kept him warm.
