Overjoyed Cat Owner Shares Wholesome Journey of Missing Black Cat Who Miraculously Defied All the Odds and Came Home

One cat owner took to Reddit to share the journey of her missing cat, Stinky, who, despite all odds that were stacked against her, made her way home just in time for New Year's. Some Redditors called it a miracle because OP lived in the mountains, right next to a meadow that had lots of coyotes. Every time OP saw a missing cat poster in the area, they would become very sad, knowing that the odds of that cat coming home to its owner were very low…

But luck was on both OP and their cat's side, as Stinky managed to find her way home! Apparently, this cat is much tougher than she looks. We can just imagine the coyotes backing off when crossing paths with her… In any case, we will not spoil all the wholesome goodness in this story, so scroll down and read all about it below. Then, when you are done, check out these grumpy fluffy felines who have had quite the day!
