Whenever there's a terrible storm,there are

plenty of sad stories. Many people lost their houses,their cars and their pets. But sometimes these stories have happy endings too.

A family in New Jersey,US, had a cat named Vivien. She is very smart. She could even draw with her wet paws on the floor. They all love her very much. When hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit America in October ₉ they moved to a safer place 13 km away from home. Sadly Vivien went missing.

The whole family were worried about her. They put up posters on the Internet to look for her. All the nine family members searched wherever they

thought she could stay,but they didn't find it. The

family thought Vivien was gone forever.

But six months later,Vivien showed up at their house,according to Yahoo News. They considered her return as a wonder. No one can be sure where Vivien was for all that time.

Many animals are good at finding their way home. People usually say that dogs and cats find their way home through using their sense of smell.

But that doesn't explain how Vivien found her way back. Hurricane Sandy blew away the normal smells of home.

"I wish she could talk,^" said her owner.
