A Pennsylvania family’s pet cat ended up joining them for a weekend adventure in New York City when they found the feline had stowed away atop their van for 100 miles.
The Denardo family said they made it about 100 miles from their home in Kittanning before they stopped for gas and discovered their cat, Ray Ray, was clinging to the luggage strapped to the roof.
Mara Denardo explained the family was on their way to New Hampshire for a marathon, and then on to New York.
“We’re like, what do we do? We’re already so far into the trip and we have a long way to go to get to New Hampshire, so my husband said, ‘He’s just going to have to go with us,'” Denardo told KDKA-TV.
The family said Ray Ray had managed to stay atop the vehicle for 100 miles, even while they were driving 70 mph on the highway.
The Denardos made a stop for supplies at a pet store and continued on with their weekend plans. They said Ray Ray accompanied them on their adventures from the comfort of a cat-carrier backpack.
“He had such a good time and a great adventure,” Denardo said. “I actually did videos and pictures everywhere we went of him and it was like his whole adventure.”
