Just got the August issue of Cat Fancy mag. It has an article about the Siamese cat that traveled 400 miles under the trailor of a 16 wheel semi truck. The cat was exposed to all the dust and dirt, stones....and other road hazards without jumping off. The cat sat on a 8 inch beam that is on the trucks 5th wheel frame made to bind on every bump. The truck driver drove 400 miles non stop never going slower that 60 miles per hour. I am amazed that the cat did not blow off....can you imagine the air current at the kinda speed under that truck? The article goes on to say how the cat was found and adopted out to a very happy senior that lost her siamese cat in Febuary. It also has an article on Ragdolls
poisonous plants, and liver disease. The magazine is worth while if you are in a buying mood....LOL!

I asked my vet if I could have it because it had Ragdolls in it....no swiping involved....
He said take it...what a swell guy.
