Animals are born with the instinct of survival, no matter if they are house animals or from wilderness. After a fire broke down in December at a house in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a black and white cat disappeared. Its owner searched it long time after the incident, but unfortunately there was no trace of the cat. However, two weeks ago an animal shelter in Pueblo, Colorado, gave a call to the owner saying that the cat is with them. The main character of the story, the missing cat Miko, was probably scared and searching for a warm shelter hopped a tractor-trailer and rode it to Colorado that is some 240 miles away from its owner. Driven by the spirit of survival, Miko fled the house on fire and went looking for a protection. Animals never seize to amaze me, nor the technology. Lately there has been a trend in introducing a microchip in the pet's neck in order to have something to be identified if the collar is lost. Thus luckily for Miko who lost her collar, the shelter officials scanned the microchip in her neck and came up with her owner's name. All is well, when it ends well. An important thing we must learn from this story, besides the fact that animals have a very developed sense of survival, is that we need technology in so many areas that it has become a necessary evil. Don't hesitate in buying a microchip for your beloved pet, it assures a constant way to locate it. Bravo to Miko and the happy owner.
