In this April 20, 2011 photo released by the Governor’s Island Foundation, a calico cat is seated across from some buildings on Governors Island in New York. According to the New York Daily News, security guards on the island found the cat with salty, matted, and seaweed caked hair over the weekend of April 16. Workers on the island believe the cat swam over from New Jersey, which is more than a mile away.

As bad as Jersey might be, I'm betting this poor kitteh didn't leave voluntarily. You just know some rotten waste of humanity tried to do something very bad to this plucky girl...

Yay kitteh!

I dunno... you ever been to NJ before? I'd swim a mile to get away too. Although with all the industrial and pharmaceutical waste, the water around NJ is.... :greenface

She heard she could get a part on Jersey Shore. They really need to name her Snooki.

Way to go kitteh. I want to hug and squeeze that brave little feline. :)
