Eine Familienkatze, die während eines Umzugs von Kalifornien quer durch die USA verloren ging, findet sich Berichten zufolge wieder in ihre alten Gewohnheiten bei ihren Menschen in ihrem neuen Zuhause in Georgia ein, nachdem sie eine unwahrscheinliche – aber lang erhoffte – Wiedervereinigung nach mehr als sieben Jahren erlebte.
