A 3-month-old kitten from Washington state went on an unexpected adventure - after hitching a lift for 120 miles in the rather chilly wheel well of a man's SUV.

Marc Lichty says left Olympia, Washington, after finishing a day of work Wednesday. He heard meowing when he stopped at a rest stop along the way home but couldn't see a cat, KPTV-TV reported.
When he reached his home in Tualatin, Oregon, he heard the meowing again and grabbed a flashlight. Finally, he was able to locate the wayward feline - although, he said, 'the cat was up underneath in the spare tire spot.'
His daughter Jenna helped coax the passenger out with a bit of salmon.
Lichty says he can't imagine making that trip at 70 mph in the sub-zero temperatures the area has been experiencing.
The family called Olympia businesses in the area where he was working Wednesday but didn't find the kitten's owner. The animal had no collar or microchip to identify its former owners; as a result, the Lichtys say they'll keep the kitten.
