Originated after airline deregulation in 1978. Cat Hunting is the act of hunting for stray cats while Flight Attendants are on long layovers in international and domestic locations. The participants are normally divorced and those who have been flying for over 10 years. Flight Attendants use many methods (stetegically placing open cans of cat food around the layover hotel, trees, dumpsters and parks) to attract the stray cats and take them home at the conclusion of the trip.
Example 1:

Flight Attendant #3: Where are Sue and Rob?

Flight Attendant #4: I believe they went cat hunting yesterday.

Flight Attendant #1(Rob): Sorry I'm late. Our trip ran alittle late.

Flight Attendant #2(Sue): I managed to catch 3 cats this week! Momma is a WINNER!

Example 2:

Flight Attendant #1: Are you going to join Sue and I on our layover in Pittsburgh?

Flight Attendant #2: We are going cat hunting! We usually have good luck in Pittsburgh!

Flight Attendant Newbie: ummm, I'm allergic to cats.

Flight Attendant #1 : Tragic!!! Work would be so boring if I couldn't go cat hunting with the crew!
