Delilah the stowaway cat, who touched many hearts after joining the family road trip.
The Scholten family of St. Albans, Maine were excited about attending the EAA AirVenture show, a popular annual air show in Oshkosh Wisconsin, a 1,300-mile journey.
After hitching the camper to the car, and just before leaving, someone opened the camper to add some pillows and other items.

"I open the door, and there's Delilah," Andrea Scholten told News Center Maine. "I just screamed 'Delilah!' and my husband and the kids were like 'Delilah!'"
"So, we went to Target, we bought her food, litter, a collar that we would write her name on because we were completely unprepared for this."
But they made Delilah comfortable, and as they continued to Oshkosh, Andrea decided to have some fun using the family Facebook page, creating hashtag "stowawayoshkoshcat"
And posting updates on "EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022 - Pictures and Video!"
Soon, Delilah became an internet sensation, as a global audience began following her story and enjoying her antics.
After the air show, on the way home, Delilah and her family visited Niagara Falls, all in all a great outing for a stowaway cat.
The family is planning to return to Oshkosh for next year's air show, and this time they intend to include Delilah, who was a happy camper and a loving traveling companion.
