One cat in Gilbert, Arizona recently tested the theory that cats have nine lives.  In fact, this kitty probably used at least two of its lives to survive its amazing adventure.  According to the East Valley Tribune, a cat named Bella took a 2 ½ hour ride on the spare tire of her owner’s truck.  Considering the tire was stored under the belly of the truck, Bella certainly had to hang on tight until her ride was over!

Bella’s owner, Gil Smith, claims that he drove from his office near Gilbert, Arizona all the way to Kearny, Arizona for a meeting.  The total distance between the two cities?  70 miles! 

When Smith finally reached Kearny, he said he heard the sound of a cat in distress.  At first, he thought the sound was coming from the nearby weeds.  But, it didn’t take him long to realize that it may be coming from his truck.  Apparently, the Smith’s had experienced a monsoon storm the night before and Smith recalled that Bella liked to hide in the truck during these storms.

“She loves to get up on that spare tire to hang out, it’s kind of a safe place for her, particularly after it rains,” Smith told the East Valley Tribune.  “And, whenever I start up that truck in the morning, I always let it run for a few minutes so I can make sure all the animals are clear.”

It seems Bella missed her wakeup call and continued to “hang out” in the tire even after Smith pulled out of his driveway.  Thankfully, she didn’t try to jump from the truck while it was in motion.

“She’s a special cat.  Very smart,” said Smith.  “She knew she would be in trouble if she left that truck.”

If the thought of seeing Chihuahuas racing brings a smile to your face, you may be interested in finding out the results of the recent PETCO Unleashed National Chihuahua Race finals. The finals took place on August 31 at PETCO Park in San Diego and was squeezed in between innings of a San Diego Padres-Colorado Rockies baseball game.

This was the 4th straight year for the event and the title went to a four-year-old Chihuahua from Bakersfield, California named Tiger. The little dog managed to complete race in just 1.9 seconds, which requires the dogs to run straight down a 35 foot track. This was not Tiger’s first win, however, as he also won the title in 2006 before being unseated by a Chihuahua named Maddy in 2007. This year, Tiger managed to beat out Maddy as well as twelve other Chihuahuas from around the country that made it to the finals.

The second place winner was a Chihuahua from Woodland, Texas named Piccolo while third place went to Pancho Villa from Lopez Island, Washington. The fourth place winner was a Chihuahua from Elizabeth, Colorado named Mia. In all, more than 2,900 Chihuahuas participated in the annual event. In the end, however, Tiger walked away with the grand prize, which included receiving a trophy, a $300 PETCO Gift Card and a one year supply of Royal Canin Chihuahua dog food.
