HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. — China the cat got her name after being delivered in a crate holding motorcycle gear that a North Carolina man had ordered to be shipped from Shanghai.
Eric Congdon opened the cargo freight that left port in China on April 3 and found the furry stowaway, which had chewed through one of the boxes. After at least 35 days on a ship, the cat was weak but still alive.

Not really surprising, Chinese people often survive the same trip.

There’s 4-5 Chinese restaurants in Hendersonville now. The animal shelter is going to have to keep an eye on kitty.

We’re importing cats from China, now?

Awww, a tuxedo kitty!
Too late to send her back; by now she’ll have had a litter of anchor kittens.

I say we grant kitty asylum and allow her to stay.

Poor kitty. It’s going to be quarantined for six months, during which time a legion of bureaucrats will devote every moment of their waking existence to having it euthanized. I think I would’ve just kept my mouth shut and taken it home.

The manufacturer in Shanghai said that a worker had inadvertently left his lunch in the container.

Ha! Janet Reno’s no longer Atty General. But I could see it now: Big international incident... China demands cat be returned... Jack-booted thugs with burp-guns kick down closet door and drag off frightened, screaming kitty, à la Elian Gonzalez.
