Lost but Not Forgotten A Determined Feline Finds His Way Home No Matter the Distance
Cats are known for many things: their independence, impeccable balancing
Susanne never lost hope and recalls a moment during their trek home when she saw a double rainbow in the sky. “That’s a sign for our Rayne Beau that he’s going to be okay,” she said. The Anguianos finally got the call they had been waiting for about two months after their Yellowstone trip. Their microchip enrollment company called and said Rayne Beau had been found and turned in to the Placer SPCA in Roseville, California (over 800 miles from Yellowstone and 200 miles from their home)! The next day, Benny and Susanne drove to Roseville to pick up Rayne Beau. Upon arrival, they discovered he had lost 6 pounds, had minor paw injuries, and was malnourished. While seeing their beloved fur baby in such a condition wasn’t easy, the Anguianos made it a point to fit their cats with AirTags and Rayne Beau with a GPS tracker. Rayne Beau’s ability to find his way back home remains a mystery. However, it proves that love (and feline internal GPS) can overcome any obstacle, no matter the distance.
skills, and endless fascination with shoelaces. However, who would have guessed that our beloved feline friends have an innate GPS built into their brains?
This furry tale of two kitties all started when a California couple, Benny and Susanne Anguiano, decided to take their two cats, Rayne Beau and Starr Jasmyn, on their first trip to Yellowstone National Park. The couple says this wasn’t the cats’ first rodeo. In fact, they loved looking out the big windows of the RV at the different wildlife. However, their epic park adventure turned into a nightmare on this particular trip. Shortly after arriving at Yellowstone, something startled Rayne Beau, and he ran into the forest. The couple searched for him for four days, leaving out some of his favorite treats and toys to lure him back to them. Unfortunately, Benny and Susanne’s efforts were short-lived, and they had to return home to Salinas, California. A husband and wife enjoying a morning jog in a suburban neighborhood near Kansas City last fall had no reason to fear serious injury. As they neared an intersection, the woman noticed a car approaching the stop sign there, and assumed it would heed the sign and stop. So, she continued running through the intersection. Jogging behind her, the woman’s husband watched in horror as a catastrophic scene unfolded. The car failed to stop, struck his wife, and threw her body 10 feet onto the asphalt in the middle of the street. He raced to her side, checked her vital signs as she lay unconscious, and called 9-1-1. The woman was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where her diagnoses included concussion and post‑concussion syndrome. Drivers at fault in crashes involving pedestrians often try to blame the victim traveling on foot, and this case was no exception. The driver who ran the stop sign claimed to police that the woman had caused the collision. Often, vulnerable pedestrians are so badly hurt in these accidents that they can’t provide their own account of the incident to police at the scene, giving negligent drivers a chance to rewrite the story.

Jogger Falsely Blamed for Her Own Injuries Wins $500,000
Fortunately, the couple in this case retained a personal injury attorney at our firm. We immediately conducted a full investigation and brought in experts to support our client’s claims. The woman was suffering from cognitive, visual, vestibular, and psychological impairments, including memory loss, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, neuropsychological testing showed. These disabling symptoms are likely to persist, perhaps for the rest of her life. Of course, drivers of vehicles in these accidents are not always to blame. Sometimes, pedestrians can be held liable in collisions with a moving vehicle — if they walk out into the path of a speeding car, for example, or if they were intoxicated at the time. In the case of this unfortunate jogger, however, the driver was clearly at fault. Our attorney was able to secure a $500,000 settlement for our client, the maximum allowed by the driver’s insurance policy, without going to trial. Our attorneys have experience in handling these cases, and we will mount the strongest possible case on your behalf. If you or someone you love has been involved in a pedestrian accident with a moving vehicle, call us today!
