APPLETON, Wisconsin (AP) -- When Emily the cat went missing a month ago, her owners looked for their wandering pet where she had ended up before -- the local animal shelter. This week they learned Emily sailed to France.

Lesley McElhiney now figures her cat went prowling around a paper warehouse near home and ended up in a cargo container that went by ship across the Atlantic Ocean and was trucked to Nancy, a city in northeastern France near the border with Germany.

Employees at a French lamination company found her in the container, checked her tags and called Emily's veterinarian back in the U.S., John Palarski.

I wonder if this'll spark a "cats vs. dogs" debate? ;)

With the recent excursion of CP and GD and the plethora of cats that NA & € have, I thought there might be a connection.

This is why I keep my cats indoors!

But, nice ploy in getting to France. I should try that sometime. ;)
