Happy Ending Animal Tales

Or, another good reason to microchip your pets, if you can!

Lost cat returned home after nine years

Quote:

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - A British couple have been reunited with their missing cat after nine years, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) said on Wednesday.

Dixie, a 15-year-old ginger cat, disappeared in 1999 and her owners thought she had been killed by a car.

Complete story with a pic of Dixie here

I hope the cat is 15 now and not when lost in 1999. 15 is pretty old for a cat to begin with. A 24 year-old cat would be not much longer for this world.

I know a certain 12 year old cat who has an appointment to get a chip. (my own Illuminati)

Our three cats are chipped even though they don't go outside -- never know, they might sneak out through an open door or when we have someone else feed them when we're away. Or something. It was not expensive and provides a lot of peace of mind.

Yay! Good for you (and Illuminati).

Tango is chipped, as well.

All three of our dogs are chipped. When you look at the recovery rate of chipped pets, it's really a no-brainer.

I have an appointment to get mine chipped before the drive south.

Riding out Ike on an island, with a lion
BOLIVAR PENINSULA, Texas - Many years from now, a small group of Hurricane Ike survivors will probably still be telling the story of how, on the night the storm flattened their island, they took sanctuary in a church — with a lion.

The full-grown lion was from a local zoo, and the owner was trying to drive to safety with the animal when he saw cars and trucks stranded in the rising floodwaters. He knew he and the lion were in trouble.

He headed for the church and was met by a group of residents who helped the lion wade inside, where they locked it in a sanctuary as the storm raged. The water crept up to their waists, and two-by-fours came floating through broken windows. But the lion was as calm as a kitten.

I thought a happy ending animal tale is when the tail remains on the animal!
