'He survived two hurricanes on his own': Pawrent searches for missing cat for 1.5 years, and just when he loses hope, he finds him purrfectly perched on the neighbor’s roof

Such a typical cat - goes wandering off on their own, makes you worry, and then shows up in the most random of places.

Have you ever walked into a room, expecting your cat to be in there, but they're nowhere to be found? So you search the whole house, and still nothing. You do another full sweep, this time more serious: opening cabinets, closets, looking underneath furniture, etc. You start to panic. Did you leave the door open by accident? A window? Think. Think! And just when you're about to grab your keys and start driving around the neighborhood, you hear them enter the room behind you. Who knows where they were, but they made sure you only found them when they wanted to be found.

Well, take that purrfectly relatable cat owner issue and multiply it by a million. Except this time, the cat did actually escape, for one and a half years. He's a previously feral cat (now a lazy house cat), named Touk. His pawrent was beside himself, and was just about to give up hope, when one day he looked up… and what did he see? His cat. Loafing on his neighbor's roof, calm as can be. We can only imagine the mixture of happiness, excitement, and rage he must have felt.

Now they're back together, and everyone gets their happily ever after, just in time for Christmas. It truly is a Christmas meowracle!

Two hurricanes?! Well, guess you're once a feral, always a feral in some ways. They're more resourceful than you think! For him, it might just have been another average day. Next time, Touk, just come home if the weather gets bad again. It's much nicer to stay indoors and not have to worry about any of that anymore. Just a little piece of advice.

He probably did find another home. Cats are good at that - convincing people that they're poor, hungry, and need their assistance, when in reality, they have three other families hooked on the same story. They're master meownipulators. But they're also fluffy and cute, which makes their manipulation all the more convincing!
