Owner who finds his cat after a whole year of it being lost is concerned about her remembering him, but she surprises him when she immediately shows him love: 'Now she doesn't leave my side'

One of the worst things that we have gone through as cat owners was having our cat run away. It happened once and only once, and luckily, our kitty came back to us 24 hours later, but those 24 hours were some of the absolute worst. The concern, the fear we experienced, we haven't felt anything quite like it since. The knowledge that our spoiled little kitty would most likely not survive out there on its own for long haunted us. We cannot imagine having to go through something like that longer than 24 hours, but it does happen.

Still, cats are loyal creatures, no matter what haters might say about them. Cats remember us, they remember where they're from, and once they find their way back - whether it's 24 hours later or a year later - they will remember us. We know that, but we still understand the fear. It's a good thing that stories like these exist though- stories that remind us that no, we should not be afraid of our cats forgetting us.

We understand the concern, we really do, but we also know that a cat's love for its owner should not be underestimated. People can say all they want that cats are aloof and don't get attached, but we know that's not true. And this is yet another piece of proof for that.

We love how when stories like these start getting traction, the people on the internet begin offering their own stories. One story - that could be a coincidence. Maybe our cats wouldn't recognize us after a year after all. But dozens of stories? That cannot be argued with.
