Cat survives 70-mile trip under owner's truck

[DS1]

GILBERT, Ariz. - A cat survived a 2 1/2-hour trip on a spare tire under her owner's truck. Gil Smith recently drove from his Gilbert home 70 miles away for a business meeting in Kearny. When he got out of the truck, he heard a cat in distress and realized it was his.

Smith said the cat, Bella, was hysterical, shaky and tired, but was smart enough to know not to jump off the tire as the truck was moving.

Smith and his wife have adopted three indoor cats, three goats and three chickens. But Smith said Bella, an outdoor cat the couple adopted years ago, has a special place in his wife's heart.

1. That cat rocks!

If that was my kitty he/she would get milk and tuna 3 times a week!

2. A cat thread with one reply?

3. I'm glad he heard her

And that she didn't run off once the truck stopped.

4. Poor Kitty

Some feral kitten stowed away under one of my mom's coworkers once, taking a 30 mile journey. When he arrived at work, the kitten was found alive and taken into the building, where it was taken care of for the rest of day. The cat, then named Hobo for the way he traveled to his new adoptive parent, was taken in by another one of my mom's coworkers.

Pretty neat story, but nowhere near as awesome as the original poster's.
