The plane had parked all night before take off in a hangar for cleaning.
Airport workers believe the stray cat took the opportunity to board the plane.
Others believe he may have squeezed into the Boeing when the aircraft was inspected by engineers.
The cat appeared half an hour after takeoff and burst into the cockpit.
This unknown environment and the presence of many humans around him greatly frightened him.
The animal then attacked the pilot and no one managed to catch it to neutralize it.
