Lost for a year and now she's home.

Hi there Freedom G! It's great that she came back home and that the gator didn't get her. I think it's something to celebrate.

I know exactly how you are feeling right now, well, except for the being glad part! We moved here last year in May. My husband has this really nasty cat that he literally raised from a baby. He made a video of himself bottle feeding this kitten. But she is one nasty #@%$^&!!! She attacks for no reason. Of course, my husband has always played very rough with her so she probably thinks she's playing, but I don't call it playing when flesh is torn and blood gushes out!!! Anyway, she was always an indoor cat until we moved here. There is very little chance of her being hit by a car because we live on a private road with very little traffic. What traffic there is goes very slowly and it is a long road. So, we let her outside. She loved it!!! But one day, not long after we moved here, she just vanished. My husband swore that she had been hit by a car or a wild animal had gotten her. I told him not to worry because, if she was attacked by a wild animal, SHE would win that fight! Also that there was such a slim chance of her getting hit by a car. I said she was probably being fed and maybe even housed by a neighbor. He was upset but I was secretly VERY GLAD that she was gone! It's horrible to live with a cat that you have to worry about attacking you every time you are within 15 feet of it! Even my dogs steer clear of that cat and she only weighs about four pounds!!! Anyway, about three months later, she just showed up, demanded food and curled up and went to sleep as though she had never been away at all. And she was very fat! Not pregnant, just obviously well-fed. We later learned that a neighbor had been feeding her. We don't know where she had been sleeping, but she had been eating very well. I have since chased her around the house, shaking a plastic grocery bag at her. This was right after she attacked me again. I had had enough and the closest thing to me was the plastic bag. She obviously did not like it because she'd run every time I got close. Since that time, she has 'respected' me! She doesn't attack me any more. She is one warped cat!

I'm glad she came home. A lot of times if you move and don't keep the outside cat in for a while, they don't necessarily know where they live. My guess is that she's been in the area and just now found the scent of what she remembers. Take care with that storm!

Wow that is so amazing! I bet you're so glad to have her back. Maybe she came home because of the storm lol. I hope the storm moves out fast for you all. Has it started yet?

wow that is just amazing. maybe she went back to your old house. lol. well at least she's now back and I hope she stays and never be gone again. I guess she has a very good memory after all. It's been a year.

That is really cool congratulations. I had a cat that disappeared one time. I dont know whatever happened to him. We moved a few months after he was lost, I wonder what would have happened if we had stayed there. I wonder if he would have showed back up.My current kitty was an outside cat when I first got him and always tries to get out, but I dont let him. I couldnt bear to lose this little guy.

My cat was gone for only a WEEK and I was in a KNOT about it! I was THRILLED when she came home, injured though she was, but she's back to health now. They say Home is where the heart is... well... she knows where her heart is, and she is HOME now! Congratulations and many thanks to God for leading her HOME.

Hello freedomg, Wow! that is a amazing story, the poor little cat, must have got lost or taken away some whereelse and made her journey back to you, cats do that sometimes, at least she is home and dry, please leave he indoors for a while so she will feel its really home. Tamara

That really is good news. Makes you wonder where she was all that time. If they could only talk. She must have been gettin fed somewhere. Kind of reminds me of the Disney movie Tomasina. I always liked that movie. Anyway enjoy your cat. Hopefully she will stay put this time.

aww that fantastic for you i've lost a kitty before but moved after that and everytime i walk past my old house i wonder. i have another two now and would be devistated if they disappeared maybe she did go home and then come back poor thing.

Wow! She must have had 10 lives...! lol JK. I'm glad your kitty is home, I had a midnight black cat that disappeared and we never seen her again either, we live in a rural area and I think something got her. :( She's been gone a few years now and if I do see her again... i'd probably be freaked out. :)

Thats wonderful news, I like Aniamal Planet, and I see this a lot about pets, lost for a long time and return home. But I never met anyone that this has happened to in real life. I am Happy for you.

Whoah that is quite a story you got there, after a year she came back man... you guys must have been really heart broken... at least this time if shes gona for quite a long time you could just leave her some food and stuff and know that she'd come back XD

Never know someone may have found her and had her locked up and treating her as their pet and she may have just gotten free. Thats what someone did to our dog when we were younger. We could hear him barking in the distance but we couldn't find him. Then after few months I guess they got tired of his barking or he got free and found his way home. Animals are amazing on how they can find their way back to the people they know really love them. Glad your cat Michelle made it back home and the gator in the back didn't get her.

That's so sweet. I've heard of these types of stories but it's never happened to me. I'm happy for you and your family. :]

I'm glad she found her way home to you. Its too bad she won't stay indoors so you don't have to worry this way about her again.

Yay! I'm so happy for you! I can imagine how happy you were when you saw her again :) Sounds like she was happy too :D

Wow ! I am so glad that your cat has returned! I wonder the adventure that she has been on! An why she stayed away for so long. But now she is home! I would be so shocked, after thining the worst! I am glad that you have her back!

your lucky find her after an year though i wonder where she could have been
