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 I was a child we had a kitten that climbed up into the undercarriage of my dads Cadillac Eldorado. It climbed out 3 hours later and about 150 miles from home in a motel parking lot. It was shaking like a leaf.
More likey someone stole/found this cat and moved it across country. This is why we micro chip all the puppies we sell. People steal purebred dogs all the time, especially puppies.
That’s what hubby says, the cat got a ride!
