Good thing he must have started out as somebody's healthy kitty, or he probably wouldn't have made it! I could put my *Body guard Cat* on a month long cruise, and she might get to what she should weigh!! LOL (of course, SHE says "it's all Muscle"! :-)

LOL! One of my cats could probably survive easily for two weeks without food.

    A good cat story, and good he is being well cared for, perhaps his spirit simply carried him back to his roots , smiles a bit of mystery in his happening in travels .

          May be he is an explorer cat tried to prove the Theory of Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian explorer who crossed the Pacific in a Pharao's boat to prove that the Pharaons landed in other continents and built Pyramids over there
