Sugar

In 1951 Mr and Mrs Woods moved to Oklahoma, leaving their cat, sugar behind with neighbours because he hated travelling in cars. After two weeks living with the neighbours the cat vanished, never to be seen again. Fourteen months later he jumped through a window and onto the shoulder of Mrs woods.

Amazed that the cat could have travelled so far (1,500 miles) he was given a very close examination, as Sugar was a part-Persian with a deformed hip. But it was unmistakably him! How he had managed to navigate his way over such a distance remains a mystery.
