Hilarious Florida cat escapes vet, scales dog fencing, sends SPCA staff into a frenzy, and races 3 miles for 3 days back home: 'Don't underestimate cats' GPS system'

One thing that we have learned about cats in our time owning them and writing about them is that cats should not be underestimated. Your cat may be lazy 90% of the time, but during that 10%, when they really have meowtivation, they manage to do some incredible things. We've seen cats learn how to use doorbells when they wanted to get back inside their home after going "missing". We've seen cats learn to open their own food containers when they are hongry enough. Just a few days ago, we came across a cat who took out his own microchip… probably because he didn't feel like being spied on!

Don't underestimate cats - that's the best advice that we can give new cat owners. Don't let your cat fool you into thinking that it is lazy and incapable, because they're not. And although most times, that just leads to a whole bunch of shenanigans, this time… it led to a miracle. The first incredible thing this cat did was escape the vet, in a Mission Impossible-style breakout. The second thing… was using all that energy and madness that he felt to run straight back home.
