VILONIA, Ark. (AP) — A four-legged victim of the Vilonia tornado has unexpectedly survived.
The Log Cabin Democrat reports that a black tomcat called Black Velvet was spotted on a fence in its owners’ backyard late last week — five months after the tornado.
Black Velvet had gone missing after the April 25 tornado that killed five people and destroyed dozens of buildings in the town north of Little Rock.

The cat’s owners, Keith and Debra Rorie, were concerned about a family member who lost her home and didn’t think anything of Black Velvet’s disappearance for almost a week.
Black Velvet appeared to look healthy and well-fed, and Keith Rorie thinks someone might have been looking after the cat.
