Lost Cat Survives Three Months in Yellowstone Park
A cat lost in Yellowstone National Park over three months ago has been returned to its family. Fluffy some survived all the predators in West Yellowstone by hiding out in a garage. She was eventually coaxed from the garage and trapped.
Fluffy somehow survived for about three months despite the coyotes, foxes, owls, hawks, eagles and grizzly bears that frequent the West Yellowstone area.
"It's pretty amazing," said Rick Armstrong, a West Yellowstone school guidance counselor, whose family lives north of town. "There's plenty of predators that would want to eat a little cat."
Residents in the Horse Butte area, about a mile from the campground, noticed the stray cat and started leaving food out for her. She had a harness and tag, but wouldn't let anyone get close enough to her to read it, Armstrong said.
Fluffy was apparently finding shelter in a garage.
Fluffy is lucky to have been rescued before the winter hit. The campground sure doesn't sound like the place to bring a cat but at least the story has a happy ending. It sounds like one of the children was missing little Fluffy something terrible.
