LONDON (Reuters) - A couple have been reunited with their missing cat after nine years, the 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. But now in 2008, she was found less than half a mile from her home in Birmingham after a concerned resident rang the animal charity to report a thin and dishevelled cat who had been in the area for a couple of months. RSPCA Animal Collection Officer Alan Pittaway checked her microchip and confirmed it was Dixie. She was returned to her owners, Alan and Gilly Delaney, within half an hour. "In 29 years of working for the RSPCA I have never seen anyone so excited and happy as Mrs Delaney," Pittaway said. "It made my day to return Dixie to her owners." The couple were "overjoyed" to be reunited with their missing cat after so many years. "Dixie's personality, behaviour and little mannerisms have not changed at all," said Gilly Delaney. "We don't think she has stopped purring since she came back through the door." The RSPCA hope the story will encourage owners to have their pets microchipped. -------------------- My Beloved Bono: This Void is Immeasurable

Please thank you for chering this with all of us here, you made my day! Jorge :wub I heard that story on the news the other day. Wild!. Can you imagine!!. Piper has a microchip my sister in law had put in(this was her cat that she no longer wanted) Anyways, I tried to put a collar on her with name and adress and saying has microchip. She caught her botton tooth on the collar trying to get it off and almost broke her jaw. At the time we were just "taking care of her"but I have a funny feeling she has my address in that chip...I'll find out someday..be interesting..Anyways back to Darcy, there's always hope. Keep the faith.. Ann |
