A Czech model has gotten into deep trouble after she smuggled her pet cat onboard a flight from Las Vegas to Frankfurt in her purse.

After the crew discovered the pet in her possession, the cat was placed in the airplane’s toilet.

However, at that point all hell broke loose as the pet owner Zaneta Hucikova, threw a fit and slapped an air hostess.

A women who calls herself a globetrotter and animal rights activist tweeted a picture witt the caption: 'Nothing like having an emergency landing in #Denver on a 12hr flt to #Europe BC of crazy ladies punching stewardess' (Twitter)

The European model threatened to take the jet down. The pilot was forced to divert the international flight to Denver international airport.

The plane was escorted by two F-16s to Denver.

The rest of the passengers were finally able to depart for Frankfurt after waiting approximately 24 hours in Denver, reports CBS News.

The US immigration authorities have detained the 34-year-old model for being in the US without a valid visa.

The cat remains in federal custody, according to media reports.
