Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

More harrowing hitch-hiking cat tales.

Princess Leia, possibly seeking out a larger litter box, spent a week on beauteous Hilton Head Island. If only everyone who found kitties were as considerate as Bill Boswell, this Leia's Obi-Wan:

The 9-month-old calico cat wound up on the front doorstep of Bill and Sheila Boswell's Shipyard Plantation home last month, soon after the departure of a contractor [...] He spent the week making fliers and calling island veterinarians to find its owner. No luck. Then it hit him -- the contractor had mentioned he'd been in Bluffton before coming to the Boswells. Bill started calling mainland vets on the chance the cat had bummed a ride over the bridges.

Leia is now back home under the watchful eye of her own Chewbacca of sorts, her best friend, a Rottweiler mix.
