HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. - After Eric Congdon opened a crate from China and discovered a cat inside, coming up with a name for the furry stowaway was easy.

China the cat had chewed through one of the boxes before it left Shanghai on April 3 and spent at least 35 days on a ship inside the container filled with motorcycle gear.

That happens somewhat regularly (this would be the third or fourth time in recent years I remember hearing such a tale). Cats can live a long time without supplies if they need to.

Poor kitty! :(
I'm relieved to hear she's okay.

Now I've got the tune to "slow boat to China" in my head.

My friend who is a truck driver told me a story of a kitty that was found hanging from the bottom of a truck it must have crawled up there in the Oakland area, the kitty was found in Barstow... He survived and now lives in a truck stop in Barstow...

Alex is right, this keeps on happening, yet, cats continue steadfastly in doing this sort of reckless behaviour! Cat education must start at home, folks.

And in an ever-evolving story, I just read that the cat is now asking for political asylum and a bowl of cream.
