After being gone for 3 whole years, this person's childhood cat, who had run away, finds them again, reuniting and not letting them go: 'I have been walking on the street I used to live on and he must have picked up my scent'

We think that every cat owner can relate when we say that we wonder sometimes… when we leave our cats alone, say for a long vacation, if they would remember us. Logically, we know that they probably will. We know that our cats love us, and that love like that would be nearly impawssible to forget. But we can't help feeling that tiny bit of nervousness. What if they forget us? How long does it actually take for cats to forget? Do they ever? We've always wondered, and we think that today, we have officially gotten our answer.

Never. That is the answer. Cats remember those who show them kindness. Cats remember the people that they have grown attached to literally forever. That is the only thing that could explain what happened in this story. Years. It had been years since this cat ran away and didn't come back. But the reunion between this cat and its owner didn't happen like they normally do. The cat wasn't found. The cat was the one who found the human. After years, the cat recognized his human, and he made his way back to them.

We agree. As much as it must have hurt to lose him the first time, we think that you can find comfort in the fact that he remembered you. And not only did he remember you, he remembered you as a safe place, as someone to go to when he needs help. That's love.

We're glad that you were able to recognize him so easily. It would have been so sad had he made the effort to come to you now and you wouldn't have. But the stars have aligned purrfectly for you, and now, you can be happy together again.
