'Never give up hope': Parent's black cat meowsteriously reappears after being missing for over 4 years, they suspect someone "rescued" their lost cat, forcing their fluffy feline to escape to get back home

This, feline fam, is why it's crucially impawtant that you get your cats microchipped. As we learned from the Boy Scouts, it's always best to be prepurred, and if your precious pet goes missing for whatever reason, you want them to be somehow traced back to you. Or else, another kind hooman or family may "rescue" your cat, thinking that it's a stray and then you might be separated for furrever.

That's what we suspect happened in the thread below. We'll start with the good news - a pawrent and her beautiful black cat were reunited after more than four years of her feline being missing. The bad news is that we all suspect that someone took their cat in while it was on its outdoor adventure, and the cat probably had to escape to get back to its original home. This is why you don't just take cats off the street without checking for a microchip first, friends! Read through the whole thread below!

Lucky for us, we've never had a cat go missing (you can't see us, but we're knocking on wood right now). We don't even want to think about it. We would be one of those pawrents who prints signs and posts them literally everywhere. Coffee shops, street poles, mailboxes, you name it, we'd flyer it.

Now that we have written countless stories about cats being lost (and found), we've learned that it's pretty common for cats to have multiple families. They will always have one primary one, but if a cat knows it's going to get fed somewhere else, it's going to find a way to get there every once in a while.
