Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006One VERY lucky kitty!
http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/01/04/turnpike.cat.ap/ Cherry Hill, NJ is near where I live, so this particular kitty's story was on our local news. He's a pretty little furball who survived a 70-mile ride clinging to the underside of an SUV. (The driver had no idea her feline passenger was there, until another motorist saw him and flagged her down.) Not surprisingly, he's been dubbed "Miracle". I'm thinking he's used up at least one of his 9 lives coming through this episode. I hope he gets adopted by people who spoil him rotten. Donna, Captain and Stanley > http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/01/04/turnpike.cat.ap/ Poor thing! He does not look happy in that photo. I sure hope he's able to get over the trauma of that ordeal. I agree he's a pretty cat, and I hope he finds some nice folks to give him a comfy home.

I looked up the web site for the shelter where he's at: http://awanj.org/miracle.htm there's a link to make online donations, too, through Network for Good. I can't afford to give fright now, with 3 kittens getting fixed in a few weeks time, I need to save! That is like Grant. Only he was just 6 weeks or so old. They don't even know where he was but my coworker found him sitting in the parking lot after work. He was black, sitting on black top after being driven 40 miles somewhere on the outside of a van. He was very dehydrated. I don't know how he survived to be honest. > http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/01/04/turnpike.cat.ap/ > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Donna, Captain and Stanley > That is like Grant.

Sometimes I wonder if the cats I get that just appear in the yard out of nowhere got here that way. Especially the one last year that had the sore on its head. It looked like a burn.

For the life of me I can't picture what poor Miracle was holding on to to have held out for the 70 miles. The survival instinct of cats never ceases to amaze me. SignatureCheryl Wow! Lucky kitty. Really sweet looking too. Suz&Spicey \ > Not surprisingly, he's been dubbed "Miracle". I'm thinking he's used up at > least one of his 9 lives coming through this episode.

I'm surprised that Smokey survived a Canadian winter outside (people said they'd seen him hanging around the forest since December 2001, and I didn't bring him home until August 2002, having made his acquaintance in June 2002.) --Fil |
