Animal experts are stumped trying to figure out how a cat made its way back home after a 200 mile, 2 month journey.

According to MSN Now, Holly the house cat was lost at an RV rally in Daytona Beach, Fl. and got separated from her owners. 

Two months later Holly showed up about a mile from her owners home in West Palm Beach, Fl.

Animal scientists say they may never know how Holly found her way back home to her owners.

Cats aren't normally known for having great navigational skills, making data on the subject nearly nonexistent.

Holly has a microchip which helped her owners positively identify her.
