| Cat survives 10 mile trip on top of car
Cat survives 10-mile trip on top of car
By Associated Press
Published March 4, 2005
INKOM, Idaho -- Torri Hutchinson's cat might just have one less life to live. Hutchison was driving along Interstate 15 one day recently when a motorist kept trying to get her attention and pointing to the roof of her car.
She said she was wary of the man, but wondered if perhaps her ski rack might have come loose.
She pulled over to the side, but kept her doors locked and the motor running.
The man pulled up behind her. Hutchinson rolled down her window to hear the man frantically shouting, "Your cat! Your cat!"
He reached for the roof of her car and handed the shocked Hutchinson her orange tabby.
She had driven about 10 miles with the cat on top of the car, and didn't even notice the feline when she stopped for gas.
Hutchinson said Cuddle Bug, or C.B. for short, had climbed into the back of her car as she was getting ready to leave. She put him out, but he must have jumped on the roof while she wasn't looking, she said.

| Oh god! My parents' cat Punky went for a ride on the car roof a couple of times. The first time, my father was horrified to see my mom driving down the road, oblivious to Punky on top of the car! He ran out into the snow in his slippers and down the road, where he was met by Punky himself, strolling along happily (we reckon he jumped or fell into a snowbank when my mom stopped at the stop sign)!!!!

| Cats are simply amazing. I have heard of cats finding their way home after being lost for a few years! Or how about cats that survive with no food or water for a very long period of time. Cats are so mystical! | |
