Cat came back — 13 years after going missing

Yes, what a miracle! :)

I think it is wonderful that pets remember how to find their owners after so many years apart.
 
Cat missing for over 13 years back with owners

SANTA ROSA, Calif. — A couple recently had an unexpected reunion with an old housemate: their pet cat who went missing more than 13 years ago. George, who was last seen by Melinda Merman and Frank Walburg in 1995, was turned into an animal hospital after the manager of a mobile home park trapped the sickly feline.

A microchip implanted in George allowed him to be traced back to his owners.

Merman said after George went missing she visited animal shelters and wrote to veterinarians in search of the gray, yellow-eyed cat, who now weighs less than half what he used to.

But Merman and Walburg said the cat is now eating well and displaying some of his old behavior, like jumping at flickering light on the wall the way he used to.
 
Mod's Note:

Both threads has been merged.

This is interesting, yet, amazing after being missing for 13 years and to be returned to the owners. It shows what the cat is able of, by remembering after 13 long years.
 
My dogs and cat are all microchipped.

That was the key of the cat being returned to its rightful owner.

Wonder how far was the cat found from his owners home.
 
wow It's nice to see the couple who are still together to have cat back in one piece after 13 years later.


I should have my cats being mircochipped. umm *knock on wood*
 
Amazing story, 13 years is a long time and amazing for the cat to remember their original owner. :)
