Amazing Cat Goes Missing in Colorado, Found Five Years Later in New York City, Alive and Well

Chips Ahoy, home at last. This kitty has learn its lesson well. No more pussy foot'n around. It is a better cat's meow to be home at last; all is purrrrrfect. Purfect indeed!

cool cat i geuss this just goes to show if u dont give up faith then god will help you find your way home

This has something to do with Broadway

@ Lost4468 you are an ass.

@boka, nicely done sir... I suppose an alternate interpretation is that Lost4468 thinks that the pet tracking chips are deities; doubt that though...

Without knowing what really happened to the cat in between it could be that there is nothing remarkable at all. For instance some on traveling through picks up cat, and takes cat with them, they go to NY, cat either gets lost again or is abandoned years later.

@boka, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but there is no need for language like that on popsci. After all, this is a Science Website, not a debate club.

@Lost4468 some rely on "god". others rely on, you know...implanted chips. but hey whatever floats your boat.

Willow was just having fun....with portals.

Another possibility is the family secretly tortures pets and now after it's harrowing escape and attempt to start over fresh in the big city Willow has been dragged back into the pit of despair. I'm just saying...

So its amazing that an ANIMAL was able to use its ANIMAL instincts and survice on its own for 5 years? and Traveled 1800 miles while doing so? I am confused on the amazing part....

Rumor has it has it “Aldrons Last Hope", might be quoted as saying he seen this cat circling the twin towers and he may of seen him in the U.K. around a few crop circles. I hope he arrives later and makes a few comments directly.

Hopefully later maybe "B.V. and inaka_rob" should make some quotes to of where this cat has been. There are our local experts on everything and mysteriously believe to themselves to always be right. Another rumor is these two are joined at the hip by some mysterious glue called BubbaGoo or something other. Both of them have commented often to me. It is a mystery in itself.

"CodeZero" may come along too and comment. He is one really smart guy and seems to have good insights to things. I sure hope he comments.

I always enjoy the comments from "JediMindset". I hope he has a few comments of his own of where he thinks this cat been.

I did interview a few Scottish scientist and they will not confirm or deny putting any type of special bacteria in this cat. I ask if they would come and give this cat a close look inspection. They quickly replied a firm NO!

This is all the rumors I have to pass on. I am sure happy this cat is home with the family. ;)

They said the cat will change its name to Ketouac and publish On the road 2.

@Lost4468
Obviously the cat was trying to find home. A home it ran away from in the first place. Was probably locked in the closet for not reading the bible one night.

The cat traveled away from the family, not towards it. It was found in NYC, faith and dedication had nothing to do with it. The reason it traveled there was unusual, but not a miracle, or proof of anything, just randomness and events that pushed it that way along the path. Your statement like most shows a complete lack of wisdom or insight. Cats live longer than 5 years on their own, in fact there are likely animals making similar journeys, the only reason we know about this one is it is tagged (by humans not god).

Good thing it was not in Russia it would have found a dog on the subway.

Let a dog roam he will find his way home.
Loose your Kitty, look in New York City

Wow, what a journey! - Author Janette Noelle Dean, In Defense of Cats! www.indefenseofcats.com

@scienceguy2 fuck you

@Lost4468 I am sorry. what are you talking about. this happens every single day with animals. its called living. you know. what animals do. they live. She lived in one area and then she lived in another area. millions of humans do it every single day. why could a cat be different?. its not like its the firs cat to move. the ONLY amazing thing about the story is that they FOUND the cat. that had nothing to do with god. it had to do with HUMANS and SCIENCE you know... what this website is about.

I believe, I mean, I KNOW that the US government kidnapped the cat, removed the chip, cloned the cat, sent the original cat to Area 51 as a spy, meanwhile, sent the cloned cat with the transplanted chip to NY by mistake where it lived with Woody Allen for four years before escaping to .... What! I have a YouTube video link to prove my theory.

@delkomatic: The amazing part of this story is that the DOMESTICATED cat, which normally does not stray too far from it's reliable food source, was found alive 1,800 miles from home.

@timiko: too funny

More proof that cats are evil, fridge-mounted hissing machines.

Family flees from the entity out of fear, it travels 1,800 miles to track them down. Thats not amazing, its terrifying. I played DND, I know how to spot a familiar when I see one.

@harveyD

LOL

Am I missing something? I fail to see what is so remarkable about this cat. Here is a more likely scenario...

A cat goes missing in Colorado. Someone finds a stray cat, takes it home and at some point travels to New York with said cat in tow. Cat goes missing again. Someone in New York finds a stray cat and takes the time to check for a microchip.

Why would someone assume that it happened any other way? I don't get it?

Perhaps the writter of this cat story was drinking to much cat nip and spun a good yarn to meow the POPSCI readers.

I think its hilarious that when anyone mentions anything related to creationism they get uber flamed. I work at Google and I am amazed at how many extremely smart engineers and scientists there are at Google who not only believe in god/gods/creationism, but also do stupid things like write bible references on the marker walls (huge walls with markers where people can scribble whatever they want). They typically receive a similar response as Lost4468 did today.

Anyways, everyone is entitled to their opinion but I would recommend that peoples comments be logical, and sound in reasoning (ie. nothing referencing god, religion, or the bible because they are just 3000 year old camp fire stories)

For everyone else... This is a community of nerds. Try not to be E-bullies.

I dedicate this little thought to 'gathem',

There are those who would say, implanting animals with a chip is the baby steps to implanting chips in humans and is of the devils work. This cat even has its own Christmas stocking. Christmas is a Christian holiday celebrated during a pagan time of celebration. Willow the cat was found near POPSCI headquarters, strange? The Willow tree has long had associations with Wicca/Witchcraft and figures in the folklore and mythology of many cultures.

I see the devil cat has gotten its story publish for all to know him. Hmm, perhaps there is much more to this story than meets the cat's meow.

Have a nice weekend!
Oh Holloween is near, BOO! ;)

i tend to agree with the theory someone found the cat and took it with them to NYC but you never know. Cats are pretty smart, mine knows how to use a doorknob and watches tv.

that cwazie kat.

JediMindset, POPSCI, inaka_rob and joshmon999 had a cue and killed Tamiko. Seems they felt she was a bubba.

Tamiko never claim to be a bubba, but only stated Tamiko views. She never cursed or insulted anyone. But I guess poor inaka_rob could not stand be argued with or was not in the lime light. Actually who knows what motivates these people except persistent hate and paranoia.

Anyways, they felt Tamiko need to be killed. So she is dead now. GONE. Ka-put.

The only reason is the belief she was somebody else. They could not make protest of the things Tomika said.

So yes it ends with paranoia and persistent hate.

I just read last night that this cat caught a plane in traveling to New York...

@becosmos
you gotta admit that they both were so alike. and there were others that shared my opinion.
