so last week I got a call from the humane society. suddenly I have my old cat who I thought had died years ago and he's making headlines [quote] BILOXI, Miss., Dec. 8 (UPI) -- A cat missing for five years is back home in Mississippi, bearing battle scars and a wilder attitude but happy, the owner says. "This is the power of microchipping," humane society Director Tara High said. "There is no other way that cat would have found its family. This is a very dramatic story with a wonderful ending." Scrub was an indoor cat living in Gulfport, Miss., with Jennifer and Chris Noble prior to Hurricane Katrina, but after the storm hit their living conditions changed considerably, The Sun Herald of Biloxi, Miss., reported. Jennifer Noble said they had taken to leaving the doors and windows open because it was hot and there was no electricity after the hurricane. Scrub started going outside but one day didn't come back. "I honestly think he got disoriented; that he just couldn't find this way back," Jennifer Noble said. Five years later, an employee from the Humane Society of South Mississippi called Jennifer's home message machine saying a cat had been brought in with their information on his microchip, the newspaper said Tuesday. "You have my cat! Oh my gosh!" she remembers saying. "That cat has been missing for five years!" "Oh my gosh," the employee said. "Well, Merry Christmas'!"[/quote] [url]http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2010/12/08/Missing-cat-re-appears-after-5-years/UPI-55621291854633/[/url] [url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/08/AR2010120802787.html[/url] [url]http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/12/08/ap/strange/main7130371.shtml[/url] massive pictures of the cat in question (thumbnails): [img_thumb]http://www.buttsexv2.co.cc/images/cat/IMG_20101208_190936.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://www.buttsexv2.co.cc/images/cat/IMG_20101208_191011.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://www.buttsexv2.co.cc/images/cat/IMG_20101208_191023.jpg[/img_thumb] he is currently sitting on my lap
Amazing, have a heart.
That's great and after 5 years? :O Imagine the journey it took to get back home.
Dammnnnnn. That's a long time. But now I know where you live, and prepare to take your cat.
Holy shit. This reminds me of Homeward Bound.

also I've had him for about a week, I was just waiting for there to be some news sources so I wouldn't have to write any content on my own
That's so awesome. I remember once my cat went missing for a good few months and then one day as my mum and I were driving in to town (we lived out in the country) we drove passed one of the houses a few km's away from our house was a cat that looked identical to my missing cat. Unfortunately my mum didn't stop driving so I could get out of the car to have a proper look.
That's amazing, thinking a friend was dead all these years, only to receive a call that he's been found, and is safe and sound at the shelter.

I had a cat named Puff who was an outdoor cat, and she'd show up very rarely, and once she was gone for just about a year and a half. We thought she got killed by some animal but she came back :)
Holy shit, CBS News? Your cat is famous!
Let's make a movie out of it :3
