NEW YORK (AP) _ A champion cat was not exactly gracious about his win: He bolted for 14 hours.
Evgeny Plushenko, named after the Olympic gold medal-winning Russian figure skater, jumped from a judge’s arms after being named best of its breed at the Cat Fanciers’ Association Cat annual show. He beat out 200 other felines at the Madison Square Garden event on Sunday. The “Best in Show” Russian Blue with emerald eyes was found Monday, after 14 hours, huddled in a carpenter’s room.
