FORT PIERCE, Fla. Have you ever wondered what 14 years equals in cat years?
(Hint: It's a really long time.)
For an orange tabby named Thomas Jr. T2 for short it's about 72 years, the time it's been since he last saw his owner, Perry Martin, of Fort Pierce.
But because of a tiny microchip, T2 was reunited with Martin last week at the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast.
"When I got the call and someone said, 'What if we told you T2 was alive?' I figured it was a mistake," Martin said. "It was too crazy to believe."
That phone call was from Martin's veterinarian, who, in 2002, had implanted T2 with a microchip. If T2 ever went missing, it would make him easier to identify once he'd been found.
