Cat Parent Wakes Up and Miraculously Finds Cat Missing for 3 Months on Bed

There’s a Japanese legend which holds that if you lose your house cat, a good way of finding them again is to go to the other outdoor or stray cats in the neighborhood and describe your missing feline. Asking the other cats to help lead your cat home, it is said, is the best method of getting the kitty back.

Of course, that kind of move only works if the kitty wants to come home. If you have a rolling-stone kind of cat, who is happy to roam all over town, then maybe nothing will make it come back. How else to explain this cat’s utterly non-plussed reappearance on her human’s bed after three whole months?

In this video, a person is allegedly astonished to wake up and find his missing cat asleep on their bed after a three month absence. Given the fact that the only other video of this cat is from June fourth, when the person first got them, it sounds as if this cat has been M.I.A. for far longer than she has been a part of the household.

My guess is that this is a cat who views “home” as a revolving concept. Many’s the supposed cat-parent astounded to find that their neighbor has moved away and taken “their” cat—only if you ask the neighbor, the cat actually belongs to them and they are astonished to think it is anyone else’s.

My friend had a cat that ran away from home. She kept catching it and bringing it back, then finding where it was living and begging it to come back, but the cat had his own ideas, and it did not involve living with that woman anymore.

Cats, man. What are you going to do?

What Happens If You Lose Your Cat?

If you let your cat out and wandering (as this person is seen doing in literally the next video) it’s possible that they will decide your house is more of a way station. But even with the best intentions, sometimes you’re going to lose your cat.

Indoor cats who are used to their home life are the ones most likely to stay close by if they get loose. Generally, they will be less than a block away, hiding or trying to find their way back in. Leaving their food and litter box outside where they can smell it is an excellent way to trap them back in your area. You can also set out humane traps with some pieces of dirty laundry belonging to the cat’s favorite human.

Microchipping can also help you keep track of your kitty, but it only works if someone is able to catch the cat and take them to the vet. If you do lose track of your cat, make sure you ask around your neighborhood. Post signs and send photos to neighborhood social media groups or email lists.

Female Orange Cats

The gene that turns a cat’s fur orange is located on the X chromosome for cats, which means that male cats only need to inherit it from their mother, while female cats need to inherit this gene from both sets of parents to be orange. This is why eighty percent of orange cats are male, because it’s a much rarer combination for females.

No wonder this cat thinks she’s so special.
