In July, the McMillans, from the Phoenix, Arizona-area, took a trip to Oregon.
“We decided to take the kids on an adventure,” Lizzy McMillan, the mom, said.
Lexi, the family’s fluffy gray and white cat, joined the family on their trip.
“She’s so shy, so she kind of got brought along for the ride,” McMillan said.
Once they got to Oregon, Lexi the cat got away at one of their stops near Diamond Lake.
“I saw her, I told him, he put her in the back and somehow, five of us, none of us saw her make her grand escape,” McMillan said.

Jan. 25 (UPI) An Arizona family was reunited with their pet cat after the feline spent nearly five months on the loose in Oregon.
The McMillan family of Gilbert said they took a trip to Oregon last summer and their cat, Lexi, got loose at the Thielsen Forest Campground, about 6 miles from Diamond Lake.

The family extended their trip by a day to search for Lexi, but they eventually had to drive home without their pet.
Oregon Department of Transportation worker Chris Southwick said he and his coworkers spotted a cat on the loose near their maintenance facility in Lemolo, a few miles from the campground. In late November, he captured the feline.
