During a road trip from Pennsylvania to New Hampshire, Mara Denardo and her family thought they were embarking on a completely normal journey. But after driving for about two hours and covering 100 miles, they decided to pull over at a service station to refuel.
As they got out of the car, they made an unbelievable discovery: their cat, Ray Ray, was calmly strolling around on the roof of their van.
Clinging on at 70 mph
The family struggled to understand how the pet had managed to get onto the roof without anyone noticing, and more importantly, how he had managed to cling on. The vehicle had travelled along winding roads and reached speeds of nearly 70 mph on the motorway. Before setting off, Mara's husband had actually inspected the roof rack without spotting a thing.
Rescued from under a car when he was a tiny kitten, Ray Ray has always been particularly drawn to vehicles. Fortunately, the feline escaped his misadventure without a single scratch.
From stowaway to holiday star
Relieved to find him safe and sound, the family decided not to turn back and brought him along for the rest of their holiday. The next day, the cat even attended a marathon Mara's husband was running, crossing the finish line in his arms.
Their journey continued all the way to New York City. There, the feline explored the Empire State Building and Grand Central Terminal from the safety of a specially adapted bubble backpack. On the way home, the family double-checked multiple times that Ray Ray was tucked away safely inside the car.
