Awesome story! Thanks for posting it. =^..^=
Stop posting these cat stories, they’re making my screen blurry.
An intelligent Cat should know where his bread is buttered and generally hang around for the benefits.
Smart Cats are Socialists.
A tabby looks like another tabby.
Jimmy sure is a handsome dude!
My pets do not leave the house. To let them go missing that would mean I failed to take care of them properly.
These people are extremely, extremely lucky. Glad they have him back.

I find this interesting. When I was young we moved quite a distance (~40 miles) from one small town to another. Our tabby Tom walked back to the old place including a fair sized river not once, not twice, but 3 times before he finally grudgingly accepted we had moved.
I’ve heard other stories where animals travel back to locations they moved from on their own.
The reason I find this interesting is that this cat didn’t make it back. Maybe it was too far, but I’m guessing there was something blocking his way between the two places.
Thoughts?
Do you know the biggest single source of the animals in shelters? Shelters, and something like 25% of the animals are known problem animals recycled through multiple families at $300-400 each "rehoming" stay.
Your animal may well be alive but, you wont likely ever see it again. Those of you across the South in particular should know that often, especially after some disaster somewhere, you aren't likely to find your animals because they are immediately shipped to places like Wisconsin and sold to someone here.
We had a cat of that breed we got as a kitten when some people dumped her and her female sibling into our neighbors bushes and sped off. She lived with us for 21 years and her sibling, who was adopted by the neighbors where they were dumped off, lived for 22 years.

I needed a good cat story this week. Monday I lost mine to cancer. It’s still tough to come home and she’s not there rubbing my leg. She used to come lay beside me as I posted on FR. It’s tough.
Hopefully they’ll keep him inside now.
Many years ago one of our cats had been missing for 3 weeks. Then one day we heard faint meows underneath the front steps, went over, and George comes walking out. He was so skinny. We took him to vet and he was treated. Of course, we had no clue where he’d been during all that time. He was a feisty muscular (25 lbs) male cat and should have had no trouble catching food outdoors, or so I had thought. He passed away 4 years ago. He was more my husband’s cat but towards the end of his life I would find him in my “room.” He liked to talk then. I would say “Hi George” 5 times in a row and 5 times he would meow hello back. He was a dignified and intelligent kitty. I miss him.
Great story!

Thanks for sharing this. He looks a lot like our Bob. I think we will get Bob chipped soon. It would kill me if he disappeared like that.
I must be allergic to pet stories ... nearly every time that I read one, I get the sniffles and my eyes start to water ...
