Escapee cat reunites with family 60 days later, after travelling almost 900 miles

Benny and Susanne Anguinao, a couple from California have reunited with their runaway cat after the feline covered almost 900 miles on its own. 

The couple was on a trip to Yellowstone National Park with their house cat, Rayne Beau, when the pet got spooked by something and ran for the dense bushes and trees, as per NBC News. 

Benny and Susanne spent the rest of their trip searching for their beloved Rayne Beau, laying out his favourite toys and treats, in hopes that the feline would return to its parents. 

Benny told NBC News that by the time their trip had been concluded, their cat was still missing.

Susanne told NBC News affiliate KSBW of Salinas in an interview that they had to leave without Rayne Beau.

“That was the hardest day because I felt like I was abandoning him,” she added.

Weeks later, the couple received a message from a pet microchip registry service, PetWatch, and they had listed their cat’s information and location.

The location was a shelter in Roseville, California, more than 800 miles from Yellowstone, where Rayne Beau had been lost.

The spooked cat was found by a woman in the area, alone in the street and soon realised he was a pet cat and turned him in.

When he was found, he weighed only 8 pounds and about 14 pounds before he ran away.

"He was depleted," Susanne told KSBW. "He probably didn’t have much energy to even go further."

Rayne Beau was reunited with his family and home on August 4. He now spends his days playing with his twin sister, eating treats and taking naps.
