The cat was found in a shipping container. If she was in there the whole two months she was missing she had to have a food and water source. There is no way a cat can live that long without food and water. Without water she wouldn't last a week.

Yes, I thought the same thing. The story as reported cannot be correct. No being can survive more than a few days without water. See:

The only possible way this is true is because it was a shipping container. They are large and it probably wasn't empty. There would have been food and water sources that the cat could get at.  A trapped cat would eat almost anything to survive, it just couldn't get out of the container until it was opened.

As your link makes clear, no cat could live that long without food or water.
