Lost cats - your good news stories

[Moli]

My siamese Sam disappeared for 2 weeks a few years ago, we were renting a cottage while looking for a house, he got into a corn field and lost his bearings...I put an ad on the local radio, the local newspaper did a story about him, I went round all outlying farm looking for him, some of these miles away from the cottage....2 weeks later, a farmer came to the door to say he had seen him in his barn....Went up and sat in the barn for an hour shouting, he appeared, very thin, but so pleased to see me!

Then one night my son shouted out from bed. I went in and there was Sam looking very sorry for himself and making soft growling noises. It wasn't until the morning that I had a good look at him and could see he was in distress. His back leg was at a peculiar angle. I phoned a taxi immediatly (I don't drive) and got him to the vet. It turned out he had a broken pelvis and had to be crated for 3 weeks.
The amazing thing was that he somehow managed to crawl home with a broken pelvis, get up 2 steps and through the cat flap, get up the stairs and somehow onto my sons bed where he always used to sleep.........I call that devotion!

What an amazing cat to get to your son's bed with those injuries. He obviously felt very safe and loved there.

He sounds a lovely boy Mags,did you ever find out what had happened to him??

The vet didn't think he was hit by a car......said it looked more like he was hit with a bar At the time there were some Travellers camped on some wasteland not far away......and I have always wondered if they were involved in any way

Maybe its best you didnt find out exactly what had happened to him Mags. Just be thankful he survived and came home for help.

It must have taken him pure guts to crawl his way home........
