Cat returns 2 years after Bastrop County fires


Sushi

A Cedar Creek couple was astounded and delighted recently when their feline pet showed up two years after being lost in the Labor Day fires.

Doug Maitland and Sharen Armstrong-Maitland said they had given up hope of ever finding their beloved cat, Sushi.

“I was up on a ladder painting the house when I saw a small white cat lurking in the weeds beside the lake,” Doug said. “We thought we were hallucinating. Dogs are loyal and they will come back but we never thought a cat would.”

Bedraggled, skinny and very hungry, she never stopped eating out of the bowl of food while they carried her back to the house.
