Adorable lady finds missing cat during interview outside tornado-ruined home
Watch the video.
The cat found her. Probably was hiding from fear after the tornado, which for a cat is normal, and it came out when he heard her voice.
That video is just wonderful! As a cat owner, I can well imagine how Miss Judy felt when she couldn’t find one of her kitties. He must have been hanging around the ruins of their former home and heard her talking to the reporter. I’m so glad that their reunion was filmed. Truly heartwarming.
