When cats go missing there is usually nothing by trouble on the horizon. Being the strange creatures they are, they do not simply come back home and beg to be let in. they get spooked, start hiding out in some crazy places, get paranoid that the world is out to get them and there is a good chance that you will not see hyde nor hair of them for weeks if not months.

But it turns out that there is a very clever trick to finding a lost cat, and that is to raise it alongside a pawdorable pupper, have the two fall in love with each other, such that when you go looking for the cat your dog has extra incentive to help find their hiding sibling. At least that is how the pupper pawrent in this story managed to find their lost cat. And much like the success in this story, you will be likely to come upon your own story of success as your clever canine uses their keen sense of smell to find the strange and secluded hideout your fearful feline has been hanging out in.

Goodness, what stress. It is tough enough to wake up one morning to find that your feline has disappeared, but for it to likely involve having fallen off a balcony adds a whole extra heavy element of anguish to the story. How are you meant to focus on finding your cat child when you are also filled with worry that something might have happened in its fall? We cannot imagine how broken this poor pawrent must have felt by the point they stopped searching to relieve their doggo.

Aww, what a wonderful resolution! It is not all too often that doggos and cats are friends, even when they are siblings, and especially so when the dog is a high energy breed. So for this puppy to be best pals with his catto friend is truly wonderful, and even more so that their love is what brought them back together.
