Cat shows up 1300 miles away from home and gets himself a free ride home.

Charles lives in New Mexico.  The problem is,  Charles showed up in Chicago.  Charles was scheduled to be euthanized by a shelter. Fortunately for Charles, somebody at the shelter figured out how to use a microchip tracker before they sent him to the Cat Traveler Place In The Sky. And lucky for Charles that his owner indeed  had him microchipped.

Apparently, Charles has traveled a lot with his owner, so I guess this was probably just another trip for him. Laughing here.

Charles will be flown home via American Airlines complimentary flight. An Albuquerque business also donated a travel carrier for Charles.

  1. Heartwarming story. Charles is one lucky cat.

  2. what a sweetie and a heck of an adventure he’s been on. happy to learn he’s heading home.

    my guy sticks close to home b/c he’s too busy hanging out with a family of deer near the ravine in our backyard. Too cute.

  3. OK, everybody. Looks like we need an Al Gore intervention to quiet down that volcano. Nothing else is working. Quick!!! All who have not yet converted to compact fluorescents – do so now. CFL’s hold the key to our future. And Al’s.

  4. A chunk of ice built up pressure at the top of the volcano causing the explosive plume of smoke and ash. Obviously, we need MORE global warming to prevent such ice dams in the future.

    Maybe Al can move his huge ass house to Iceland.

  5. 1539: we need MORE global warming

    Now ain’t that an inconvenient truth.

  6. There are opposing views on what is causing the earthquakes and other weather related incidents.

    Rush Limbaugh blamed the so called health care bill.

    An Iranian cleric blamed premarital sex and improperly dressed women for the earthquakes, I guess there was a whole lot of shaking going on.

    take your pick, me , I think they are both bat shit crazy.

  7. This guy seems to be one of the few democrats I could vote for.
    Ohio Rep John Boccieri introduced a bill called Let Them Rest in Peace. It is a military funeral protest law. Protesters must be at least 300 feet away from the funeral.
    This still gives the sickos the right of free speech, but the families of the dead have the privacy to have a funeral in peace.
    It is headed toward the Supreme Court. He was interviewed on Fox News.

  8. The Westboro church will fight that in court and probably win. I’m tired of federal legislation to cure bad behavior.

    These jerks are straight up disturbing the peace. The cops need to drag them away, and don’t spare the tazers.

  9. Charles the Cat now has 10 lives: his original 9, plus the gift in Cicago of the 10th.

  10. HelenK, 300 feet away is still too close for protesters of these “last rites” for military people.
    I agree with 1539, plus tear gas and extra munchies for Uppitiy’s dog. No excuse for that stuff.

    However, if you’re going to vote for someone because of a bill they “introduced,” it would be a bit like voting for Barfy because he says HE REEEALLY LIKES WOMEN.

    Now PASSAGE of the same bill might warrant a vote, but too often it just isn’t so.

  11. What’s MY cat doing in Chicago? That is a ringer for Tucker.

  12. I agree that the sicko protesters are evil and really should not take up space on the planet. If it takes a bill to give the mourners some peace , I am all for it. In this country we still have the right of free speech no matter how repulsive most people find the speech. I would never want to lose that right.
    From the interview video it seems that this man is working with both sides of the aisle to get the bill passed. Isn’t that what we want from congress to work together to get GOOD bills passed.

  13. Yeah too bad they never work on both sides of the aisle on issues that affect their rich friends.

  14. How about a law that makes a gay wedding legal for every protestor who shows up?

  15. That should slow em down, 15. The baptists are the worst of the Unchristian lot, thus a Baptist Church is behind all of this. As IF God would be caught standing next to any one of them.

  16. They’ve pretty much crossed over the line of Baptist and became just batshit crazy.

  17. OT – But the MSM News tonight actually implied the Iceland volcano could stop “global Warming”.

    How convenient is that.

    Montserrat has been belching enough crap to bury 2/3 of the island, and that one in the Philippines has forced thousands of evacuations for years…but it is THIS ONE…(that just happens to interfere with their European Vacations and Obama’s trip to Poland) is THE ONE that will get AlGore off the hook….

  18. FF,

    Financially and/or otherwise, Gore will rake it in over this one.

  19. Obama 32 rounds of golf so far. Polish newspaper made a point of barry playing golf instead of attending funeral.
    Bush 24 in 8 years.

  20. DE – Why should he WORK when John Podesta is running the country?

    After all – HE has a paycheck. That’s what matters, is it not?

    And I believe Hillary managed to make it to Poland.

  21. DE,

    Somehow I don’t think that will make it into a Michael Moore movie.

  22. The adult works while the manchild plays.

    Now watch this drive.

  23. The worst recession in decades, 2 wars and he thinks it’s a good idea to play with his little white balls.

  24. half white balls

    Wait, did you mean something else?

  25. well to be honest, I don’t think the president SHOULD have traveled to Poland, given the conditions. He wasn’t the only one who couldn’t make it. And of course he has to play golf. What else does he do on Sunday instead of attending church every week like the good Christian he is?

  26. But the MSM News tonight actually implied the Iceland volcano could stop “global Warming”.

    How convenient is that.

    Hey, it’s the only way Al Gore will stay out of jail.

  27. It could go either way 15.

  28. With an IP address straight from Cambodia, I simply MUST share the text of this Spam with you…urlls XXed out of course, but you would think that if one of these yahoos expects suckers to click on their “loan calculator” they would as a minimum use a translator that simulates English

    Severely even-handedness loan is also referred to as second mortgage.
    There are opposite types of disinterestedness loan depending on the [b]loan[/b] amount you receive.
    Only of the tolerance loans allows a borrower to opt towards a [url=http://loxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxancalculator.khmer.name/?p=4]fixed loan[/url] amount which is provided on a [b]monthly basis. [/b]
    This accommodation amount is unquestionable all things the value of the house.
    This reason constructing the quarters and making its honorarium is an [b]investment[/b] that allows you to come into the possession of a loan.

  29. behave yoruselves. You know i will not tolerate racist undertones. As it is we get accused of it even when we aren’t doing it, so cut the crap.

  30. 15, how would I know the difference between that church and the other batshit crazy Baptists?

  31. We had a funeral nearby here where those assholes decided to show up but they found themselves having a lot of trip and fall accidents and things before they got very close, and the cops just didn’t notice, so they moved on.

  32. My comments were perverted not racial UW.

  33. Hey, where can I get me one of those severely even handeness loans?

  34. Hey, where can I get me one of those severely even handeness loans?

    Apparently they are available exclusively in Cambodia.

  35. ROFL. Cambodia, forsooth.

  36. Gee UW, I just meant Obama plays a lot of golf with used, dirty balls.

  37. Uppity, you have a pretty good handle on Baptists.

    Some Baptists are downright cruel. My sisters are gay. My aunts, both hard-core Baptists, have informed them that they will be going straight to hell when they die.

    Of course, this is really distressing for my aunties. It breaks their hearts to think this might happen. But it can be stopped, they proclaim, if my sisters will just renounce that “filthy” lifestyle and embrace the gospel according to the aunts.

    How anyone could say something like that to a blood relative is beyond me.

    Also beyond me is how those two sisters can continue to support Barry after he keeps chucking them under the bus.

  38. Yeah creeper, and then they have their own secrets and, if caught, it’s simply “falling short of the glory of God” and off they go.

  39. On another repeat note, I see where Al Quedas “top two” have been killed or captured. Again.

    Everytime they get an al Q person, it’s always Number One or Number Two. Apparently there are no number threes or beyond.

  40. UW, cat msg in ditherer post.

  41. Saw it Crier. Unfortunately, cute as it looks, not a good sign.

  42. UW, that is so sad that the cat is being taunted. My cat Lola loves to play like this, but she doesn’t make that sound. She will play with anything and everything. She was the one found at the International Bridge inside a confiscated car.

  43. No that cat is very possibly neurologically ill. Possibly brain tumor. Classic symptom. Fortunately, some people at youtube have already informed the owners, who, hopefully are not as stupid as they appear. This is not going to be funny when the cat REALLY goes crazy if it has a tumor. That cat needs a vet, pronto. It’s not playing, it’s Fight angry. See the ears?

  44. I don’t have a youtube account or I would be more specific for them. I’ve seen this and it is NOT good news.

  45. That is sad, UW.
