Rayne Beau is an experienced camper, often joining Benny and Susanne Anguiano on trips away from home.
But when the family arrived at Yellowstone National Park, something spooked the Siamese cat, and he took off into the trees.
Desperately searching
His frantic owners did everything they could to lure him back, but there was no trace of Rayne Beau anywhere.
Having laid out treats and called for him endlessly, Benny and Susanne had to face the fact that their beloved feline friend had disappeared.
Heartbroken, they packed up and travelled back to California.
A miraculous appearance
Two months later Rayne Beau's family received the most unexpected call.
Their cat had been found, in Roseville, California!
He had embarked on a 1,300 kilometre adventure, and thanks to his microchip, was reunited with his overjoyed family.
He may have been worn out from his journey, but the intrepid explorer quickly settled back in, and his family couldn't have been happier to see him.
"It's a miracle he made it back to us", Suzanne told CNN. "It's hard to put into words how we felt when we heard Rayne Beau was safe".
