Dec 9th, the first night of the river cyclone that hit here in western Washington State, Kitty Boy, the Best Boy ever, disappeared. We live in a rural area and it was flooded everywhere. Everyone reminded me that he's a smart and savvy cat. I told them that being smart doesn't matter if you're 11 pounds and could be washed away in a torrent of water. I also told them that if he was able, he would crawl through broken glass and barbed wire to get back here.

I grieved and cried and cussed every day. I couldn't bare to put any of his things away. Especially his outdoor, custom insulated igloo that's on our elevated porch. If and when he came home, the igloo would let him know he was really home.

HAPPY AMAZING NEW YEAR'S EVE FOR ME!! When I got up and wandered to my living room today and looked out, there was looking out the igloo at me! He was gone 3 weeks. I thanked all my family and friends who sent out the vibes for him and I especially thank the Universe for listening!

Happy Extra Special New Year to you all DU!

12. Hurray Kitty Boy

I was in a flood in Missouri early 1980s and a relatives cat jumped offf the porch and was swept out of sight. He came back a few days later. Brought our spirits up after all the damage that happened. I have never gotten over the sound of that water.

My Sasha was gone two & half mos. and it's just heart sickening. Hoping he stays close always now.

[Katcat]

42. That is wonderful news!

Cats are incredible. I had one disappear for several months and had given up on him. I grieved for him and then one day when it was pouring rain my hubby said “sissy is at the door wanting in” and without looking at the door I said no, she’s not she’s in the chair. I looked and screamed “ITS MURFF HE’S BACK” . I’m pretty sure he was at one of the neighbors houses that we didn’t associate with much (long story) and finally managed to escape. He was healthy and well fed, just wanted HOME.

[Lucky Luciano]

43. 🤩 wow that is a big deal. So happy for you and your kitty!🐈‍⬛

[vapor2]

44. My kitty Nuisance

[NewLarry]

45. WOW!

So happy for you, and him!

[Johnyawl]

46. That made me cry!

Tears of joy at the end. We have four cats and I can't imagine going through 3 weeks with one of them missing. We live in Auburn, and at one point we had a stand by to evacuate order. Packed a few things into the van, got our petcarriers down, loaded cat food and kitty litter. I wasn't going anywhere with out my furbabies.

I'm Glad Best Boy is safely home, and hope all else is right with you.

[mzmolly]

47. Welcome home

Kitty Boy!

[Picaro]

48. Wonderful that this happened

Cats are a strange breed. Had a couple growing up and Keecot we acquired in Spain—he was a pure white tom with a green eye and a blue eye. While this particular combo usually means the cat is deaf there wasn’t any evidence that he was actually deaf.

What he was was a bad ass. He once limped home with a deep gash in his side and his guts poking out. The vet assured us that he’d do what he could to save him but wasn’t giving us odds. He quickly healed.

When we went off on one of our annual, multi week trips to my parents home town, Keecot just disappeared (yes, we let our cat wander at night—my only defense is that it was the early 60’s and that was semi-normal then). We waited for him for 3 extra days and he finally showed up.

So glad that your baby came back.

[wendyb-NC]
