I was really young at the time, but it was the first cat I had ever owned so thought I would share the story! I was about 5 or 6 and my Aunt was driving us to her friends house. They had a large jungle gym in their backyard and she thought it would be fun to spend the day there.
Well on the drive over, while we were on the freeway, my Aunt spotted a little black kitten in the road! She was so concerned for the cat she just pulled over (super dangerous thing might I add) and got out of the car to grab the cat. Once she had him she got back in the car and turned around and went back to my house.
She was showing my mom the cat when my mom noticed that it was the same cat she saw on the freeway on her way home from work, which was at least 4 hours earlier. Amazed that the cat lasted that long on the freeway my family decided to name him "Lucky" because he was Lucky he didn't get hurt. After that my Aunt thought the cat would be better off with my family than hers so we got to keep him!
