A woman who had been missing for nearly a month in a New Mexico national forest was found alive Wednesday in a sleeping bag with her cat by her side, authorities said. Margaret Page, 41, was located by a rescue crew in the Gila National Forest around a mile up the Railroad Canyon Trail in rugged area known as the Black Range. That's where authorities believe where Page had purposely gone hiking off a trail with her cat between Feb. 10 and Feb. 12 and set up a camp. Page has a history of mental illness, authorities said....

I have had cats that would follow me for miles, but it was always starting from my house.

I'm glad to hear that the woman is alive.

Great stories, Cy! That little dog is really something! It seems she was born with that same itch we here on the board have - the urge to get up high on a mountain. Also, I loved the guy's photos.

As for the lady with the cat, I can kind of relate to wanting to purposely go off trail and disappear, and if I could get a cat to hang out with me, all the better! Maybe I'm a little nuts, too.

Thanks for sharing, Cy.
