ASMA KHALID, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Asma Khalid. A local resident of Prairie Village, Kan., recently found a stray cat and decided to get it scanned. The cat's microchip revealed that it belonged to a family in Miami, Fla. Police say Lucky the cat had been missing for two years. And how it made the 1,400-mile journey from Florida to Kansas is unknown. Plans are underway to reunite Lucky with its owner. Curiosity, it seems, can also save the cat. It's MORNING EDITION.
