OMAHA, Nebraska (WFLA/CNN) — Humane Society officials in Omaha, Nebraska are amazed and concerned about a disturbing video shot by a family driving on an interstate.
It shows a van driving at highway speeds, with a cat clinging onto the roof.
Ronda Rankin was driving with her family when her daughter spotted the terrifying sight.
“My daughter says there’s a cat on that van, and I was like oh no, that’s a raccoon. My husband’s pulling up closer and I’m like, oh my god, no, that’s a cat.”
Ronda and her family recorded the bizarre scene Friday night on Interstate 480.
“It looked really scared, like, what the heck is going on?”
The Rankin family pulled up next to the van and to try to let them know there was a cat on the roof.
“I said, ‘there’s a cat on your roof,’ and I keep saying, ‘a cat on your roof.’ Then she looks at me and she’s like, ‘Oh my God.’ She looks startled, and so immediately they slow down,” said Rankin.
Ronda says she saw the van pull over before it was out of sight. Now they’re wondering what happened to the brave feline.
The Nebraska Humane Society wants to know, too.
“We have never seen a video like that before,” said Mark Langan who is with the Nebraska Humane Society
Although the cat may look like wild, Langan says it is likely that it is somebody’s pet.
“How that cat held on at high speeds like that is amazing. I want to know what happened to the cat. People in Omaha want to know what happened to the cat. Let’s find out what happened to this poor cat.”
