STRANGE...BUT TRUE

A cat from West Palm Beach, Fla., has baffled scientists by making a 200-mile journey home on her own. Holly disappeared while on vacation in Daytona Beach with her owners, Jacob and Bonnie Richter. Two months later she turned up near the Richter home, seven pounds lighter and with bleeding paws. Scientists were at a loss to explain how Holly had managed to find her way back, let alone survive in the wild. “Maybe being street-smart, maybe reading animal cues, maybe being able to read cars, maybe being a good hunter,” said behavioral ecologist Marc Bekoff. “I have no data for this.”
