The cat, nicknamed River by animal shelter workers, was found inside a compartment after the boat was recovered from the waters of Lake Havasu, Arizona

A cat survived an hour underwater in a sunken boat before it was pulled from Lake Havasu, Arizona, over the weekend.

Six people were on board the Commander powerboat Saturday afternoon when large waves overtook it. The Mojave County Sheriff’s Office responded to the boat passengers, and Dive Time Recovery was called in to bring up the craft from the 15-foot-deep waters.

No one knew there was an animal stowaway, said Jon Zuccala of Dive Time Recovery. He and his son raised the boat, then pumped some of the water from its engine. Then they dropped it off at a mechanic and returned the following day to a surprising discovery.

“In the morning, the mechanic found the cat,” Zuccala told BuzzFeed. “It scared him.”

1. She's a beautiful tortie, looks a lot like HRH

Torties are wild women and tough as old boots. I'm not surprised she found someplace to survive until she could scare the hell out of somebody.
