As a cat owner myself I love hearing happy stories like this. My 5 year old Maine Coon "Mr Kittens" took off running when we moved 3 years ago. I was horrified and scared. I absolutely love Mr kittens like a child so you can imagine the ordeal I went through. He was gone 2 weeks, and every day felt like an eternity. Finally after the 2 weeks of going to shelter to shelter and not finding him and scouring the streets around our home, he finally showed up meowing ever so lightly at my door. Barely heard his little voice but when I opened the door all I could do was cry and laugh and hug him all at once. Sadly he somehow got caught in something and was badly dehydrated. He lost all his body fat and had fractured his tibia bone and dislocated his foot from the fracture. He was poorly looking and didnt look like his old happy self. Sadly his tibia bone was fractured too small so it was not repairable so I had to have his leg amputated:( All in all it was worth having him back. This was 3 years ago and hes still my best friend. Its so heart warming to hear about stories like this...only when they work out in the end:) That is truly amazing. As a cat owner myself I love hearing happy stories like this.

And thanks, and a big purrrrr to the wonderful city workers who were so diligent and sensitive!

The most effective pet carriers are made not of fabric but sturdy plastic with plastic bolts. They also open from the top and front. You can lower the pet in from the top and, later, the pet exists via the front. Re carrying a pet to the vet, my (cats exclusively) vet requires you to bring the cat in a carrier. He does not even permit a collar and leash. 2CatMom makes some very good points. The most effective pet carriers are made not of fabric but sturdy plastic with plastic bolts.

Thank goodness she was found. Everyone make sure those carriers are shut tight!! I bought a soft one with a zipper and it took one of my cats about a minute to slide the zipper open from the inside. I see people carrying their cats into the vet in their arms and all I can think is "One loud noise, and you have a cat running around a busy street." Its a miracle!! Thank goodness she was found.
