This cat has some serious navigational skills.

Nobody knows how it happened: an indoor house cat who got lost on a family excursion managing, after two months and about 200 miles, to return to her hometown.

^ that's a great story. I love it when the scientists are stumped

A friend of mine moved across the city once, her cat was missing at the time. It turned up at their new home a month or two later. That could have been chance - not as dramatic as some of the stories there, but was still impressive.

Can anyone translate what they are saying? Is it a pet or something wild they just stumbled across?

Incidents like this are why I find dogs such fascinating people.
