Incredible journey: Lost cat travels 1,450 km to reunite with owners

An almost cinematic story unfolded in the United States, featuring a Siamese cat named Rayne Beau in the lead role. Although he got lost in Yellowstone National Park and his owners had little hope of finding him, the tale had an incredible "happy ending".

In many situations, it's evident that real-life pens the best film scripts. An example is the story of Susanne and Benny Anguiano and their Siamese cat Rayne Beau, who was named in honour of the rainbow.

The couple was utterly devastated when, during a visit to Yellowstone National Park, they lost their beloved pet. The frightened cat ran deep into the forest and could not be coaxed back.

Since Susanne and Benny were then hundreds of miles away from their home in California, they completely lost hope of ever seeing their pet again after returning. Additionally, they felt they had simply abandoned him to fend for himself.

The couple decided to mend their hearts by adopting another cat. But precisely 61 days later, a voice on the phone informed them that Rayne Beau had been found in Roseville, California. He was incredibly exhausted because he had travelled a distance of about 1,450 kilometres.

The cat first went to a local animal protection organisation and then to the owners, who were identified and located thanks to a microchip.
