This March, 2017 photo provided by the Guelph Humane Society shows BooBoo at the organization's facility in Guelph, near Toronto in Ontario, Canada. BooBoo had gone missing from her home in Watsonville, Calif., in August 2014. The brown tabby showed up in southeastern Canada, about 3,000 miles from home, last week. How the missing cat got to Canada remains a mystery. (Guelph Humane Society via AP)
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A cat that went missing in California 2 ½ years ago has shown up many miles away in Canada.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/2nPdjH4 ) that BooBoo the cat went missing in August 2014 in Watsonville, California. Last week, the tabby showed up in southeastern Canada, about 3,000 miles (4827.81 kilometers) from home.
When BooBoo arrived at Guelph Humane Society in Ontario, she hardly looked like a grizzled traveler.
Humane society Executive Director Adrienne McBride says BooBoo is in "fantastic shape." In fact, she might need to go on a diet when she gets home.

and left the rest of us here. I wonder if they should force her to go back to the US. Maybe she could apply for emergency refugee status so she won't have to return to this land of the dictator.

They had hidden in there while the doors were open and rode all the way back to Texas with me. When I opened the doors after arriving in Texas they came running out past me. They were gorgeous cats. Maybe that cat hitched a ride ??
