Wis. cat endures cross-county adventure
Fri Aug 24, 9:58 PM ET
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Annie the cat loves to roam, but she got a bit more traveling experience than she bargained for last month. She sneaked into the back of a truck — bound for Virginia.
After traveling 1,000 miles, the 10-year-old calico roamed in the woods in Roanoke, Va., for 18 days before being caught.
“She’s definitely a pretty darn independent cat,” owner Ann Roskam said. “She likes to be outdoors all the time, but she comes home every morning. When she didn’t come home, we thought we’d lost her.”
