Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2006Cat Travels 70 Miles Under SUV
Did anyone see this story? http://www.upstateforums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3606 Pretty unbelievable!! This I can believe. Had it happen to me except for the distance. Left work on day in the late fall when the weather was cold. My car seemed to be making a strange sound that it hadn't been making previously. On investigation I found a small cat sitting on the gas tank and it did not want to give up its pirch. He stayed there until a garageman and I convinced him to get close enough to be forcibly grabbed. After that, on the advice of the police, he was taken back to where the car had been parked and deposited on the ground, on the premise that he had come from that neighborhood, or possibly had hitched a ride from some more distance local.

I had a cat that crawled under my car hood one cold winter and when I cranked up, there was a couple of thumps and I knew immediately what had happened. I opened the hood and it jumped into my arms with one rear leg dangling. I rushed it to the vet and had to have it removed at the hip. Surprisingly, it learned to get around well with on leg in the middle on the back. If a dog chased it, it would take off running but when it tried a quick turn, it would just tumble. lol Meet Weebs :) http://www.upstateforums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2225 > Meet Weebs :) http://www.upstateforums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2225 Meet my Weeble: http://community.webshots.com/album/87385216QpelvE http://community.webshots.com/album/94078345SDhwRn http://community.webshots.com/album/109016363dXYsOf he was only about 24 hours or so old when i found him, apparently abandoned by his mother (she hadn't been near where they were for oever 6 hours!), with a sister that was ill (she didn't survive) Weeble will be three years old this coming August, and has grown into a handsome, shiney black dignified, somewhat shy, whiney Mamma's Boy!

Cute kitty. Nice of you to take him in. <hugs> And I thought I was being original with that name. <rolleyes> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gadget http://www.upstateforums.com http://www.upstateblog.com Visit Today!! > Did anyone see this story? Actually I did.......when I posted it several days ago. > http://www.upstateforums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3606 > > Pretty unbelievable!! One of the problems I have with this news report is the cat ends up at a destination where it will be put up for adoption instead of being returned to it's original location where maybe......just maybe......it will be reunited with it's former owner. The lesson from this: CHIP YOUR CAT. If this cat was chipped they could find the owner. > Did anyone see this story?

One problem I have is this cat will be put up for adoption in the destination area instead of returning it to the original area so that the original owner can reclaim the cat. The bottom line: chip your cat so if this happens to you the cat can be returned to you. > Did anyone see this story?
