I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!!!!

Dec 9th, the first night of the river cyclone that hit here in western Washington State, Kitty Boy, the Best Boy ever, disappeared. We live in a rural area and it was flooded everywhere. Everyone reminded me that he's a smart and savvy cat. I told them that being smart doesn't matter if you're 11 pounds and could be washed away in a torrent of water. I also told them that if he was able, he would crawl through broken glass and barbed wire to get back here.
I grieved and cried and cussed every day. I couldn't bare to put any of his things away. Especially his outdoor, custom insulated igloo that's on our elevated porch. If and when he came home, the igloo would let him know he was really home.
HAPPY AMAZING NEW YEAR'S EVE FOR ME!! When I got up and wandered to my living room today and looked out, there was looking out the igloo at me! He was gone 3 weeks. I thanked all my family and friends who sent out the vibes for him and I especially thank the Universe for listening!
Happy Extra Special New Year to you all DU! 
= new reply since forum marked as read

I'm also still in shock 
Great gift for the New Year....and maybe a good omen for things to come???

I'm so happy for you and so glad Kitty Boy found his way home. That is, indeed, a miracle. I believe all the good vibes from your family and friends not only brought him home, but kept him safe from harm while he was gone.
Happy New Year to you and Kitty Boy! Thank you for sharing this happy-ending story with us!
Everyone who knows him thinks he's a marvel and that was before he disappeared and came back. He was born naturally sweet, smart, cute and funny, His mother was totally feral.
It was good that his return brought all your spirits up! Now I know how that feels.
I hope your New Year I filled with all great things too!
May it bode well for your year to come.
welcome home kitty.
Lol he ate 4 times in an hour and a half yesterday. I he's recovering a lot faster than I am. Of course, he's 7 and I'm 76 
Now, that's the way to start a New Year right! Very happy for you.
I am so happy for you! That was a nasty storm and he must have a story to tell. 
I told my daughter (in-law) he ain't talking!
TYPICAL BAD KITTEH!!!
He will regale you with stories of his adventures after a bit of fud and some neck scritches!!
FANTASTIC NEWS, welcome home little Kitty Boy!!!
He ate 4 times in an hour and 1/2. His vertabrea and hips are showing, his coat looks good and his eyes are clear. I think he might have been taken in by some kind person at some point and kept inside because he lost the winter coat and his beans are softer than they've ever been.
I know I'm beyond grateful! 
but he ain't talking!
GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE NEW YEAR! 
He was born sweet, smart cute and funny! I wish everybody could see the special floor show he puts on when we have company. He's a Tuxedo and all he needs is a top hat and cane.
and hope it spreads to all of you!
My spirits were lifted yes, but it was because your happiness was contagious. May you have many more years together.
Cats are the best IMHO. I read some years back that the cat brain is wired the more like the human brain than any other creature. I believe that because all of my cats over the years had superior ESP with me. Cats are also excellent for Autistic children because of type of connection. Might sound crazy but, kitty people know 
can't imagine what you went through tazcat 
. I'm vibing that he stays close to home for you too!
Your story is amazing! I'm so glad Murff didn't give up! A pox on those neighbor's house 
made it back home! Yes they know who their Person is, thank the Universe!
Yikes! That would be scary for sure! At least your babies were safe and ready to go with you, whew!
We live in Hoquiam with the river just across the 2 lane country road. The river doesn't flood (knock wood) where we are but, we are backed up against the foothills I'm sure that that contributes to the back area flooding. That night the front and back were lakes and the driveway was a river. I'm sure Kitty Boy was having sensory overload between all that and the way the clouds were so low the cars and trucks zooming (like idiots!) down the road made it sound like they were driving right through the yard. I don't blame him for trying to get away from that.
Kitty Boy!
Thank you from me too!
Yeah bad assery can cause problems. I can't imagine that bad of an injury, I would have totally freaked. inside my head, why set the injured party off.
Kitty boy roams because he won't use a litter box and he's never gone in the house. Lol when had his rabies vaccine this year they also want a stool sample. My daughter (in-law) busted out laughing and told the tech he was welcome to come to our 3 acres and follow him around because nobody knows where he goes!
He has been vocalizing more than ever, different pitches and tones. I pretty sure he is telling his story, nobody can translate tho
Wow was he locked in there on purpose? Or was it a freak thing? Happy he got back to you!
I'm glad it made your morning better! Hopefully the feeling will carry through the year for all of us! Thank you too!
