someone had to have moved her. i cant imagine she walked the whole way on her own.
did i read in the article that the guy has not only his cat but his kids microchipped?
I think he said that, not sure, please read article.
I suspect she could have gotten into a moving van or some other truck and she had gotten a free ride to NYC. I have heard amazing stories of cats who made long distance trips in the USA before.
When you think about it that's only a little over a mile a day (1.1mile/day). There are feral cats in my neighborhood that range at least that far but they don't keep going in a straight line. They patrol their territory, scrounging for food and keep returning on a regular routine to my patio.
