Homesick cat treks across China for 40 days
A cat given away by its owner has returned home after walking more than 100 kilometres in 40 days.
The owner of the three-year-old cat gave it away to a friend because she was fed up with its poor hygiene.
But the China Daily, quoting the Beijing Times, reports the homesick animal managed to make its way back to Beijing.
The owner, named as Zhu, told the paper: "It must have suffered a lot since its weight has fallen from 2.5 kilograms to only 500 grams."
She added she won't be letting go of her pet in the future.

No, make that 60 miles...
Poor hygiene, but a good sense of direction.....
You'd figure someone named "Zhu" would be able to take care of an animal.....
:rolleyes:
