Missing Cat Came Back … Nine Years Later!

Posted by Alex in Animal on September 11, 2008 at 12:18 am


Gilly Delaney thought that her beloved cat was killed by a car nine years ago - so it was a pleasant surprise when one day, the cat turned up alive!

An overjoyed cat owner has been reunited with her missing moggy - nine years after she wandered off from her family home. Gilly Delaney was left distraught after hearing her beloved pet Dixie had been killed by a car in 1999.

So it came as a big surprise when RSPCA officers turned up on Mrs Delaney’s doorstep - with her missing pet in tow. The officers, who scanned Dixie’s microchip, returned her to her rightful owner after they found her wandering less than half a mile away from Mrs Delaney’s home.

    Cats have their own priorities.

    That close to home for 9 years? That cat was stolen by one of her neighbors.

    There’s some poor girl somewhere without a cat…

    The cat didn’t come home, it was brought home by RSPCA officers. The cat is probably planning its next jail break right now.

    Wish we had some insight to what the hell it did for 9 years..I’d be surprised if that cat didn’t drive them crazy whining about wanting to go outside. That’s pretty great though..I know I’d be so distraught about a lost pet.

    Well, that’s one cat that didn’t come back the very next day. ;)

    The article fails to explain why the cat looks so hideous

    @psychomar: I think its because the RSPCA officers took it for a “drive” to make sure he gets the message…
