Lucky for us, none of our cats has any desire to go outside, so we have no flight risks in our house. We could leave the door wide open for hours if we wanted to and they wouldn't step one purrfect paw out the door, but that's not true for every cat. Some cats will run at even the slightest opening, not knowing that what they have inside is so much better than life outdoors. It's one of every cat pawrents' greatest fears - the cat escaping and them never coming back. That's what struck our pawrent below, and they went on a wild ride to rescue "their" cat.
They thought they lost their cat, 'Luna', after accidentally leaving the door open. Rushing outside to rescue them, they find a black cat limping outside. Without thinking, they scoop up the cat and drive to the vet, spending over $400 on treatment. Antibiotics, check up, the whole works. Finally letting out a sigh of relief, the pawrent and "her" cat drive home. She lets the cat out of the carrier, and lo and behold, her cat appears from behind the sofa. Uh oh!
We're not sure if they accidentally stole a neighbor's cat or rescued a stray, but in the end, they did a good thing. The Cat Distribution System works in purrfectly unconventional ways, and they may be $400 poorer, but hey, they got a new cat!
