What a lovely new year story. I'm so happy for you.

It also makes me realise it was well worth the tiny expense to get my own little furry babes micro-chipped.

Bulchy, don't give up hope(i did!!) you never Know what's around the corner!!! I certainly didn't think that yesterday morning when i woke i would be picking up my long lost Maddy.

Mineallmine, yes when she was at the vet yesterday we had her flead, wormed and because she'd had a steroid injection she couldn't have her vaccination. Thats okay because she won't be going out just yet (if at all)

She had a lovely first night back 'Home'. She slept in our bedroom and all night all that we could hear was her LOUD purring. Purring when she eat, purring when she was asleep, it was absouloute bliss. She seems a lot more alert today too.

I am going to get intouch with Petlog and see if they would like to include my story on their website.

Bye for now, from all six loves2pend family and their four Happy pets, Roxy, Pip, Lucy and Maddy:j

aww - it sounds like she is so glad to be home - I wonder if she has spent the last 2 1/2 years trying to find her way back?

How far away from home was she found?

Amazingly Just round the corner!!! we couldn't beleive it. I spoke to the lady who'd found her and she asked me where i lived, Neither of us could beleive it!!! I do wander if she was 'taken' by somebody and then escaped from them then spent a long time trying to get back home to us, guess i will never Know!!!! She only has half a tail and the vet reckons she may have been mistaken for a pedigree(which she isn't!!) and maybe somperson took her. What probably didn't help was that she is really friendly.

Been onto pet log and they said they would like to do a story, so watch this space!!! Really nice cos the woman i spoke to there said she took the call!!!!

Bye for now

What a lovely story I'm so glad you've got her back, it's horrible when they go missing.

But getting on in years at 7?! Don't tell my 11 year old cat that she's supposed to be slowing down now!

Edited: It does sound as if someone decided they liked the look of her and kept her. I wonder if her catnappers have moved and just left her behind?

Congrats on getting your cat back.

I'm sooooooo pleased for you!!!!! :j Hope Maddy settles back in & is soon back to her old self.
Like schoolrunmum we seem to have been adopted by a stray & unfortunately when we took him to the vet to be checked over (at advice of & paid by CPL) he wasn't microchipped. I can't believe it only costs £15 to get done - I thought it would cost about £50!! Wish more people would get it done.
Anyway, one thing I would say about the vet & the local Cat Protection lady is that they didn't really expect him to be reunited with his owners & were more interested in me taking him on. CPL lady even said he had been sent by my old cat that I lost in August :@(
So, to those people who have lost cats, please don't think they have been catnapped!! I certainly don't see myself as a catnapper!! I would love my stray to be reunited with his family, I would hate to think they are out looking for him. I have done what I can to find out where he lives but in the meantime I just want to make sure he is warm & fed.
The moral of the story is please get your cat microchipped & we can have more heart-warming stories - catsreunited!!

Too right!:T

Also, local charities such as the RSPCA occasionally offer free or cut price microchipping - however, even at full price it is a bargain!!

My mum always says ' a cat chooses YOU not you choosing them' certainlty the case with our other cat Lucy. She just turned up one day, i fed her and that was that. She was checked for a microchip and i informed the local cats protection and RSPCA, nobody came forward so we kept her. We've had her for 5 years now and she is one spoilt puss!!

In some sort of way i had thought that maybe Maddy had adopted somebody else, and maybe she did for a while but obviously she was never checked for a microchip.

I've just combed her and she was really happy to let me do it, but my lord those Fleas have had a riot on her. She has hardly any hair and like this scurvy all over her amongst flea and general dirt. Does anybody know if cats can be bathed??? Only i absouloutly do not want to frighten her but i think she is really uncomfortable.
