OMAHA, Neb. —
It’s great news to the many around the world who have seen video of a cat riding on the roof of a van going 60 miles per hour: The cat has been identified and has no injuries.

The owner, Michelle Criger, told KETV NewsWatch 7 her cat must have hitched a ride for two miles through neighborhood streets, hills and then the interstate before anyone noticed Friday.

Sounds like the two-year-old cat is living up to his name, “Rebel.”

“He takes off, does what he wants,” Criger laughs. “He's a rebel. He does everything he wants to do.

1. I saw the article elsewhere and watched the video.

I'm glad that the story has a happy conclusion and that the cat is safe.

In other news, my Siamese has climbed into my lap for massage therapy three times already tonight.

2. Not as impressive as the cat on the plane though...

4. Video of the cat on the roof

I'm glad this story has a happy ending.

Years ago my sister's cat liked to sleep on the roof of my Mom's car. We had a steep driveway and one day Mom backed out, the cat slipped off, and there was not a happy ending.

Ever since I check the roof of any vehicle before I drive off. In cold weather I pound on the hood in case a cat has climbed into the engine for warmth. Only takes a minute to be safe.
