An Oregon man discovered an unusual stowaway on his long commute home from work.

Marc Lichty says a 3-month-old kitten hitched a ride on the spare tire of his SUV for a cold, 120-mile journey.

Lichty says he heard meowing when he stopped at a rest stop along the way but couldn't see a cat.

When he reached his home, he says he heard the meowing again and grabbed a flashlight. It was then he discovered the cat under the vehicle, on the spare tire.

Lichty says he can't imagine making that trip at 70 miles-per-hour in subfreezing temperatures.

After unsuccessfully attempting to locate the kitten's owner, the Lichtys announced they'll be keeping the feline.
