Chad McIntyre, an Illinois trucker was reunited with his cat, Tyler, who often accompanies him on his long-haul drives after the kitty kat fled from his vehicle during a pit stop at a truck stop in Nevada.
Chad said he was changing Tyler's litter box when the feline wandered off at a Flying J Truck Stop.
Brandi, Chad's wife, sounded the alarm about Tyler's missing status on the trucker social media network and missing pet groups on Facebook.
Tyler turned up five days later at a Flying J Truck Stop in Rock Springs, Wyo., about 670 miles away. The cat was taken to a local animal shelter and scanned for a microchip, which gave rescuers Chad's contact information.
A coordinated series of drivers was set up to take Tyler from shelter to shelter along the route until he was home in Decatur.
