I know they gave up hope though. Matt Indeed good news and a happy ending! It's amazing how far cats can wander. Some of them even manage to hitch rides to distant places on odd transportation without anyone knowing it until much later. ![]() I'm a firm believer in microchipping. When Persia showed up at my back door and insisted she live with me, the first thing the vet did was check for a chip. After her great escape a few months later, I really thought she was gone forever. She'd only lived with me a short while. She did come home after worrying me sleepless for two days. When she came home, the next day I made an appointment with the vet for a microchip. She's never tried to run away again. I *know* she realized it's not much fun sleeping under a bush when it's cold and raining. She came back with mud and leaves stuck to her pretty grey fur. I brushed her and she purred like crazy. She learned pretty quickly home is where the food, water and comfy places to sleep are. ![]() I'm very happy your friends got their kitty back. ![]() Jill |

My neighbors adopted a dog and the animal rescue people would not allow my neighbors to take the dog off the premises until they had a collar with an ID tag showing the dog's name and the owner's phone number. We had to stop the adoption process and run down to Petsmart to get one. I did the same thing for my cat, who is also microchipped. Oops, sorry... this is in California, and pets don't have "owners." They have "guardians." |

I know they gave up hope though. Matt that's great news, but a microchip is always a good idea. Kitty Farmcat did not have one and got snatched and PTS by the friendly RSPCA when I was in hospital. Boyfie has a microchip so even if he went missing and was found hundreds of miles away by getting in a van there is still the chance I'd get him back. Not that he's likely to do that - he's far too fond of his duvet and his routine ;-) Tweed |
