Missing cat lived in storm drain for nearly two months By (0) Jan. 13 (UPI) -- A cat that escaped from a California clinic was found to have been living in a storm drain for nearly two months before being recaptured and returned home. Riverside County Animal Services said 8-month-old Jojo escaped from Animal Samaritans SPCA in Thousand Palms when he was brought in by owner Laodibet "Lala" Chavarria and her family.

Basically he fell and ran out, and he ended up just lost," Chavarria told KESQ-TV.
