Lost cat travels country
The Associated Press
WICHTI – Michelle Marshall had almost given up finding her cat, Cruz, who had been missing from her home in Salina for more than a week.
Then she read her horoscope last Sunday: "Lost possessions turn up in the oddest places."
A driver for North American Van Lines discovered the cat while unloading furniture in Alabama. There was no one there to take care of the frightened animal, which had spent seven days in the back of the 18-wheeler, so the driver fed him, put him on the passenger's seat, traveled on to North Carolina and left him with Gray.
"Now, I don't believe in horoscopes," Marshall said, "but I turned to my husband and said, 'That means the cat.'"
Meanwhile, in Goldsboro, N.C., a woman named Treva gray was caring for a namenable gray cat in her office at Jackson Moving and Storage Co.
Last Monday, after tracking down his owner through a number on his Saline County rabies tag, Gray called Marshall at work and told her she thought she had her cat
"Oh, you're kidding!" Marshall cried. "Well, where are you? I mean, I can come get him."
"Miss Marshall, we're in Goldboro.
"We're in North Carolina," Gray answered.
Marshall's 6-year-old cat, whom she had named for his wayfaring ways, had hopped into the back of a neighbor's moving van and ended up in North Carolina. The trick now was getting him home.
"I called around to airlines to see what it would cost, and I couldn't believe it," she said. Ninety-eight dollars for the ticket, $15 for a veterinary exam, $25 for a rabies shot, $30 for an air-certified cage.
Gray collected about $96 from people around town, and on Saturday, October 14, they set up a bar.
Twodays later, a headline ran on the front page of the Goldsboro News-Argus: "Stowaway cat arrives from Kansas." The article related Cruz's unusual story and solicited donations for his plane ticket home.
Marshall waited at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport while the ticket agent retrieved Cruz from the plane.

Ostriches take off in U.S. agriculture
The Associated Press
ALBANY, Ga. — They are cheaper to raise than cattle. Their meat has the taste of beef, but not the cholesterol. Their milk is mixed into $1.20 boots and $8.00 jackets.
Ostriches, the nation's latest alternative agricultural craze, are attracting droves of investors willing to stick their necks out on a bird that cannot fly.
"We see a very lucrative business," said Suzanne Shingler, who raises ostriches on an 800-acre farm near Albany in southwest Georgia. "I think eventually Europe and the world in general will be looking to the United States for skins, feathers and meat."
Ostriches are the biggest birds in the world. Males can reach a height of 8 feet and weigh up to 345 pounds. They are

native to the deserts and plains of Africa. Powerful legs and a 15-foot stride give them a top speed of 40 mph.
Ostriches are valuable for their hides, feathers and meat. But the ostrich population in the United States, estimated at 10,000 to 20,000 on about 2,000 farms, is still too small to support tanneries and slaughterhouses.
And because of the bird shortage, ostriches are worth more alive than
A pair of breeding birds cost $45,000 to $60,000; 3-month-old chick sells for about $3,000. Ostrich hens lay an aver- age of 50 eggs a year, each worth about $1,000.
