[George McGovern]

[Deuxcents]

1. 😻

Looks like she’s glad to be back..

[George McGovern]

5. He is Deuxcents. He is. Thank You!

[3Hotdogs]

29. I hope you yelled at him so's he won't do it again.

[George McGovern]

60. So happy to see him again, 3Hotdogs, I didn't have the heart to yell at him.

[blm]

2. My gosh, you must be so happy!

[George McGovern]

6. We are blm, we are. Thank You!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Wow, what wonderful news! Thank you for telling us, my dear George!

I am so relieved to read this.

K.C. looks happy too!

[George McGovern]

8. You're welcome. He is, Peggy. And we are relieved too. Thank You!

[Bayard]

4. Woot! Woot!

And they always look at you like--What? Was there a problem?

[George McGovern]

9. He has done just that Bayard. Thank You!

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Fantastic news! Maybe he had gotten accidently locked in somewhere. I found a

neighbor's cat locked inside a 50 foot semi trailer that stored my belongings during house renovation. He had been missing almost a month. I have no idea how he survived.

[George McGovern]

11. Maybe sinkingfeeling -- but he's not talking. Good thing you found that cat. Thanks!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

22. We had a cat sneak in our RV.

We heard her crying three days later and let her out.

[George McGovern]

61. Good thing you heard her crying Grumpy Old Guy, else she might still be there . . .

[Grumpy Old Guy]

63. LOL!

[Biophilic]

10. Why the littel stinker. So glad he's back. Why do we love these animals?

Yup, they keep life interesting.

[George McGovern]

12. Why indeed Biophilic. Thank You!

[soldierant]

71. Your comment puts me in mind of a line from SCE's LOLcats

(I think it was the most recent one) -

"You're supposed to be a lovable jerk, not a psychopath!"

[cilla4progress]

13. Congrats!

Years ago our daughter's magical kitty Kimani disappeared for TWO WEEKS! I kept her home from school and we walked grids looking for that cat.

Sure enough, after 2 weeks, our neighbor noticed that he seemed to have 2 identical cats in his herd - where he previously had only one like that. Yep. It was Kimani! Living under his porch waiting for us to come get her!!

[NJCher]

26. that

is a great story.

One for the books, for sure.

[cilla4progress]

30. The day I got the call she was found

was blissful!

That kitty meant so much to us! Sadly she disappeared permanently right as our daughter was graduating HS.

She was a cat who would ride in the stroller or bike basket down the driveway; sit inside the dollhouse; tolerate costumes!

One in a million.

for dear Kimani!

[George McGovern]

39. Thank You cilla4progress! Great story about your Kimani!

[viva la]

14. Well, I hope he's learned his lesson! :)

Robert Frost: "Home is when you have to go there, they have to let you in."

K.C.: "Home is when you deign to go there, they are joyous to let you in."

[George McGovern]

40. Ha Ha Thank You viva la! We hope so too. Great twist on Frost words!

[hlthe2b]

15. 👍

Good for you. 'Glad in this case that the coyotes went hungry. Maybe they found some roadkill...

[George McGovern]

41. Thank You hlthe2b. No sympathy for coyotes.

[brer cat]

16. Yay!! Happy Dance!

Give him lots of hugs and keep him close. How did Shadow react? Did she even know he was missing?

[George McGovern]

42. Didn't look like she did. She did, however, sniff noses with him a lot. Thank You!

[AndyS]

17. Huh. Just took walka out. Good tbT it was a short one!

[George McGovern]

43. Yes, we're glad it was a short one too AndyS -- Thanks!

[housecat]

18. Did he at least tell you where he went?

[George McGovern]

44. He did not housecat; however, he meowed a lot and sought out cuddling. Thanks!

[housecat]

50. You're welcome. I guess it's just a cat thing. Our did it too.

[thatcrowwoman]

19. Mazel tov, George! Oh, happy day! 😻🌞

[George McGovern]

45. You are welcome thatcrowwoman! Thank You!

[tblue37]

20. Oh, thank goodness!

[George McGovern]

46. Yes indeed tblue37! Thank You!

[Ziggysmom]

21. Oh thank Goodness he came home. Maybe he needs a GPS tracker collar?

https://groomystore.com/products/airtag-cat-collar?

[NJCher]

23. thank you, Ziggysmom!

I was just wondering the other day about such a product.

Oh will I have fun with this.

[Ziggysmom]

38. I have air tags on my car keys and purse. They have saved my sanity several times.

I am easily distracted recently, and they do help.

[George McGovern]

47. Maybe Ziggysmom, but he seems to have learned his lesson. Since returning home K.C. has looked for

more attention than usual and hasn't asked to go outside. Thanks for your suggestion, but we'll leave him as is.

[Ziggysmom]

62. Glad he learned! Cats never admit when they are wrong, it's so cute 🥰

[LoisB]

24. Wonderful, wonderful news. I am very happy for you (and K.C.).

[George McGovern]

48. Thank You LoisB! He's glad to be back.

[NJCher]

25. I'm happy for you, George

I sure know what that's like. Nothing is normal until they come home.

[George McGovern]

49. Thank You NJCher. Normal is nice to have back.

[Laffy Kat]

27. Don't you wish they could talk?

I wonder what adventures he had. He sure does look happy to be home.

[George McGovern]

51. YES Laffy Kat! Until bedtime he walked all around the house meowing and cuddled up with Mommy,

my wife.

[AllaN01Bear]

28. welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

the cat came back meow meow. the cat came back.

[George McGovern]

52. Great response AllaN01Bear! Thank You!

[Pencougar1]

31. Cats - Drive you crazy

My wife's cat disappeared a few years back. Panic, tears, yelling. Printed posters and offered reward. Spent days looking around the neighborhood talking to people I never met, "Have you seen this cat?". Tramped thru the nearby wood yelling her name. Then we more or less accepted she was lost - our poor little calico.

Then sitting on the front porch three weeks later talking about her the damn cat strolled up the porch steps, hopped up on the railing and started to clean herself.

Of course we were elated, but - I'll be honest - a bit pissed too at her "so what" attitude,

[George McGovern]

53. I'd have been pissed too. The nerve of her to leave without even so much as a note! Thanks!

[Snackshack]

32. I had a cat like that.

I always told everyone she was my pet but the reality was that I was just a source for food and rubs behind the ears. She came and went as she please once for almost 2 weeks. I didn’t have the heart to make her an “indoor” cat so that wouldn’t happen, she was always an outdoor indoor cat. Had her company for little over 10yrs until she got ill. ….I miss her.

[George McGovern]

54. Love her to this day I'll bet Snackshack. Sounds like she gave you pleasant companionship.

[Snackshack]

68. I certainly did. ☹️

[GreenWave]

33. Great happy news!

Congrats!

[George McGovern]

55. Thank You GreenWave!!!

[Warpy]

34. Mine would escape and go walkabout now and then

and return filthy and starving, giving me a "where the hell have YOU been?" look as they sauntered past.

Cats, man. It's how they work.

[George McGovern]

56. Great story Warpy. And just how they do work. Thanks.

[Half-step]

35. That is great news!

OK K.C. good job! Now would you like to tell us where you have been?

K.C. ...?

[George McGovern]

57. We'd sure like to know Half-step. But he's not talking . . . Thanks!

[wendyb-NC]

36. ... and in another house down the street

' Wonder where Gigi went haven't seen her since yesterday morning, she ate her food, then seems to have vanished.

[George McGovern]

58. Sounds familiar wendyb-NC. Thanks.

[Diamond_Dog]

37. THAT IS WONDERFUL NEWS, GEORGE!!!

[George McGovern]

59. Great picture Diamond! Thank You!!

[piddyprints]

64. That is great news! And what a handsome fellow!

My parents had a cat disappear once. She didn't normally go out, but that day she snuck out. My parents searched the neighborhood and asked everyone, but she was nowhere to be found. About 3 years later, they were at a progressive dinner. During the dessert course, they went to a house and there was the cat! My dad said, "Hey, that's my cat!" The cat came over to him and purred, obviously recognizing him. The people happily gave her back.

I'm sort of thinking kitty got lost and scared and then some people recognized that she was special and took her home. She was a purebred frost point siamese, not the kind of cat you'd normally find wandering around. Anyway, I never heard that part of the story.

So glad your kitty came back.

[George McGovern]

66. What a great story piddyprints! Thank You!

[The Wizard]

65. The cat radar worked.

[George McGovern]

67. Like a charm The Wizard. Like a charm. Thanks!

[Stallion]

69. Every Cat Needs a Summer Vacation Now and Then

[George McGovern]

72. True, Stallion. Get away from the pampered routine. Thanks.

[3catwoman3]

70. What a beautiful boy!

I'm so happy for all of you.

Our cats are all indoor cats. I tell them they are trading their freedom for their longevity, and that it is a damn good deal for them and for me. They seem content to look out the windows.

[George McGovern]

73. Thank You 3catwoman3. Maybe K.C. could learn from them!

[niyad]

74. I did not know that the sweet boy was missing! So glad that he has

rretturned. Please give him a hug from me.

[George McGovern]

76. He's sneaky that way niyad. Still hasn't said where he was. Hug given. Thank You!

[raising2moredems]

75. Gld he's back..

Had a couple of cats over the years go AWOL for a time. One came home okay, the other had a broken leg that our vet did a stellar job repairing. The two dumps we took in late 21/spring 22 DO NOT go outside. Sure, they (especially the female) want to kill the taunting chipmunk or two but otherwise are very happy to be inside tigers. Face it, all felines are stinkers that have us wrapped around their little claw.

[George McGovern]

77. Thank You raising2moredems. I agree -- stinkers indeed.

[AverageOldGuy]

78. He was out . . .

. . . wait for it . . . catting around!!!

[George McGovern]

83. Thanks AverageOldGuy. Good one!

[Glamrock]

79. I'm sure he was just hanging with The Sunshine Band...

All kidding aside, glad you got him back!

[George McGovern]

84. Why that never occurred to me Glamrock! Thank You!

[wryter2000]

80. Sweet kitty

Looks like my sweet feral. Mine was adopted less than an hour after being put up for adoption at the shelter. I miss her, but she’s in a better home than living in my backyard.

[George McGovern]

85. Sounds like you did the right thing wryter2000. Hope her adoption works out well. Thanks.

[mnhtnbb]

81. I am so happy for you!

That lil' stinker! I hope you told him he's had enough adventures for awhile!

[George McGovern]

86. Thank You mnhtnbb! He has not asked to go out since, so he has had enough

adventures for awhile!

[Aussie105]

82. To misquote George Jetson . . .

'A cat has to do what a cat has to do'.

No explanations offered. Ever.

[George McGovern]

87. Good one Aussie105. Good ol' George. Thanks!

[Mousetoescamper]

88. Callooh! Callay! Great news!

Sorry, I missed this post yesterday. But it's not too late to celebrate KC's return!

[George McGovern]

89. S'okay Mousetoescamper. Thank You!
