BEIJING: A Chinese university student’s ploy to sneak her cat on board a train by sticking it under her clothes and feigning pregnancy failed after the animal started meowing at a security checkpoint, mainland media reported.

The unnamed woman tried to conceal the cat under her clothes by feigning pregnancy because she knew that live animals were not permitted on trains, the news website Thepaper.cn reported.
