One of my cats went missing 18 months ago. She's just turned up!!
My husband was complaining saying some cat was trying to get in the house. When i had a look it was ours! Can't believe she's come back after all this time. She just walked in as though she's never been away - although she was a bit miffed when she realised her bed had gone from her normal spot!!
Very strange.

That's great! I read a story once (supposedly true) about a white cat this family in Australia had. The cat had a scar on her hip that was very distinctive. Well anyway, the family packed up their stuff and moved across the aussie desert to another town, miles and miles and miles away, but they had to leave the cat behind . . . a couple of months after they arrived in their new home, this scraggly white cat came up and started mewling around and trying to get in. The mother of the family went out and saw it and knew it was her cat immediately, because when she parted the fur from the kitty's hip there was the scar the story made a big deal of. Now THATS lucky. What a tough cat! Hope yours stays with you for a very long and happy time : )

Amazing. Nice to hear some good news. I was reading the other day that when cats are lost they are usually very close to where their home is like under someones porch. And they won't come out even when you call them. But I don't think they would hide for 18 months so someone had to be feeding her. Watch that she don't try to go back to the other place now.

What wonderful news that Roxy found his way home! I had a kitty get out many years ago while I was having plumbing work done. Bonnie was 12 years old and had never been outside. But she was a feisty kitty and spent 2 weeks checking out the outside world. I was petrified for her since where I lived was near the road, but also open country. It was October and the days here a nice, but the nights can be cold that time of the year. At the time there was a skunk problem and game and wildlife officers were trapping. I was afraid she'd get in one of their traps, so I posted flyers of her at the shelter, the local vet offices, the police department--anywhere they would let me. If Bonnie was caught, I knew her enough to know she may 'act wild' since she would be frightened. But anyone knowledgeable could have seen she was a pet, because her front legs and her neck were shaved where she had just had her teeth cleaned and bloodwork drawn. I too got a humane trap because a neighbor that didn't work outside the home said he'd seen her on my back porch. But Bonnie wouldn't come near the trap. Then one afternoon I was home and heard her meowing--Bonnie was a little kitty, but she had a loud, throaty meow! Even though she'd only been out for that little time, I still had to coax her to me. She went in a carrier and in less than an hour we were at the vet getting her checked. Except for weight loss and a chipped tooth, she was in good condition. But Bonnie was aggressive to the other kitties--ones she'd known all her life--and a dog that had been there for years. My nephew built me a huge cage for her (10 ft x 5 ft) where she would stay while I was at work. When I was home Bonnie could come and go, but she stayed in there mostly. I think the confined space made her feel safe, plus she didn't have to compete for food, water or a litter box. After about a month she came out and stayed out and was comfortable with the other kitties and dog. I fixed her a special spot in my laundry room until we moved several years later. Bonnie has now gone to the Rainbow Bridge (renal and congestive heart failure), but lived to a nice age of 17 1/2 years old. I hope your vet finds Roxy healthy despite the weight loss. Give him some time and lots of TLC and I think he will begin to remember you and his life with you before he was lost. After all, he came back to your property, so that makes me think it was familiar to him. Purrs to you and Roxy.

Oh thats brill!
My 2 cats went missing! One in July and one a few weeks ago! But I have heard of others in our neighbourhood going missing!
Dont think I will have a happy return! Someone must be poisoning them or something!
But thats great for you!

Wow! What a great story, I'm so happy for you! One of my cats went missing and turned up after 3 weeks (a lot skinnier!) and I thought that was a long time!

Get her chipped and/or give her a collar with her name and address (our 3 cats have both - belt 'n' braces approach).
Should they stray, then a finder will know where to return them.
My girls were all found as malnourished strays and taken in by the local RSPCA - I often thought how sad that I couldn't return them home since someone must have been missing them.

Well-glad to hear she has returned to you...the lord only knows what she's been thru!!
Hopefully now you'll keep her in the house so she can continue to have a happy life & grow old. Now.....
what you need to do is get her a full check...before she mingles with your other cats...FIV/FELV blood test, update her rabies & distemper if necessary & check stool for parasites.
Its worth it to protect her & other kitties. Dont delay. Take Care

That's such lovely news. I always get sad when I see lost cat posters on lampposts and wonder if they ever come back. That has really cheered me up, thank you and hope you and your cat live happily ever after x

That's great and what a surprise, Ive heard stories like this before and sometimes people have moved miles away and not been able to take their pet but eventually it has found them. Its pretty amazing isn't it.
