ねこ、無料で電車に乗る

This is my translation of a Satori Reader news article.

On May 30th just past noon, one white cat came on the train. The place was Tokyo’s Akihabara. The cat jumped on to an empty seat. The neighboring passengers seemed surprised.
When the cat found a sunny place, it started an afternoon nap there. It looked like it had a good feeling.

It took about 30 minutes, before Funabashi station, the cat woke up. And then it did a big stretch. At Funabashi station, the train stopped and the door opened. The cat jumped from the seat and then got off the train.

Did he decide on his destination? I get the sense we had a peek at the mysterious cat’s life.
