True Pet Stories > Mister Kitty's Big Adventure

Mister Kitty has been in our family for 8 years, since kittenhood. We recently moved from country living to small town "downtown" living. Mister Kitty lived at our place of business and went outside after 6 p.m. when the town rolled up its sidewalks and the downtown became relatively quiet. He's EXTREMELY friendly and most everyone knew him. When folks would see him outside, they'd stop to pet him and talk with him and he in turn would talk to them. The red heart shaped ID tag from LOVEYOURPETS let the people know that he did indeed live "downtown" and was not lost.
Then one day, he disappeared. We put signs all over town. We called the vets, the Humane Society, Animal Control. We ran ads in the paper. Days went by, then weeks but I never gave up hope. Mister Kitty WOULD come home. Three weeks after his disappearance I got a phone call from a man who had "caught" Mister Kitty in a Hav-A-Heart possum trap. The man lived nearly 3 miles away and knew from the LOVEYOURPETS tag that Mister Kitty was far from home.
How (and why) he was so far from home was a mystery until the evening Mister Kitty appeared at the window of a downtown restaurant when was my daughter was inside. A man at the counter told a story about having a few beers too many one night and being greeted by Mister Kitty on his way to his car. The cat was SO FRIENDLY, the inebriated man took him home with him to the OTHER SIDE OF TOWN! When he sobered up the next morning, he noticed Mister Kitty's tag and realizing that he belonged to someone... he let Mister Kitty go. Needless to say, my sweet cat could not find his way home from that distance. Without his red heart ID tag we may never have had him returned to us. All of his friends in downtown Tarboro, NC are glad he's back. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
