Cat Reunited with Owner after Subway Trip
NEW YORK (UPI) -- A cat that slipped into the New York subway system and disappeared for 25 days has been reunited with its owner. Ashley Phillips said she was surprised when subway workers found Georgia, her 7-month-old feline, after such a long time, the New York Daily News reported. "I'm still in shock," the 24-year-old librarian said. "I kind of gave up hope that they'd find her. "She's getting micro-chipped as soon as possible." Georgia had been traveling inside a travel case on the subway last month, but bolted into the tunnels when Phillips temporarily put the case on the ground. Track flagman Mark Dalessio said he was searching the subway system last week when he heard the lost kitten cry for help. Dalessio told the Daily News the cat look frightened as he approached it Wednesday, but still give him a friendly lick. "It was kinda cute," he said. "I can imagine the fear the cat had with trains going by." Copyright 2008 by United Press International
