A cat spends 35 days aboard a ship with no food or water.

A man opens a crate from China and finds a cat in it. Naming the cat was easy for the man his name is now China. The cat chewed through one of the boxes he was being held in. And was found in a crate aboard a ship carrying motorcycle parts. I guess 9 lives was enough for this stowaway cat.

35 days without water is long for any life to survive but that only proves that our bodies contain fluids that we are able to survive without water. This reminds me of Moses not eating nor drinking for 40 days and 40 nights. It also depends where we are because if we are in a hot zone, it's really very difficult to survive without water. That also will affirm the belief that cats have 9 lives.

Thanks for sharing this! I am very sensitive when it comes to cats. I love them and I've heard many stories of how they survive the most impossible conditions. They are very strong and beautiful I really hope animal abusers would stop what they're doing

If we believe that cats have 9 lives, this is not surprising. Accordingly cats have 9 lives and perhaps this is a proof that cats can really survive where others cannot. It's surprising though how the cat was able to enter the box without the knowledge of those who closed the crate.

Syrely the poor cat must have at least had something to drink at some point? Wouldn't it simply die of thirst like a human would? I think humans die after only 8 days or so without water. Still, i'm glad the cat was found alive, however it survived!

It's possible that it drank rain water or something. You do have a good point there.
