My 19yr old immortal kitty Orion was just found, nearly a week after he wandered off. He’s old and his vision/hearing isn’t the best. While I kept looking and giving all the neighbors flyers I was prepared for the worst. Nothing has ever loved me so unconditionally and I am so grateful for his return.
How do I know he’s immortal? Well when he was 3 we lived in LA. My commute was 1.5 hrs each way with a stop in Downtown for my wife. I drove a Jeep wrangler, mostly in bumper to bumper traffic. Well one day he decided to follow me out the door and sneak into the engine compartment. I had no idea. Drove to work with the stop in between. Luckily I parked somewhere covered when I got to work and stayed at the office for lunch.
Later I left and picked up my wife and was almost home when I hear meowing. I thought some stray got in there while my car was parked at work. Instead of stopping on the side of the road and risking it running into traffic we went all the way home. Jump out of the jeep and open the hood to see Orion, poking his head up and panting but unharmed. He saw where he was and ran for the house. If anything happened that day I would have thought he vanished in thin air. Why do they have to toy with us like that :D
I knew that he was ok in the end and this was still a terrifying read. Give that man some extra loving for me
That’s one hell of a feeling, both them being lost, and then finding them. I’m very glad indeed your old friend returned!
Glad he is safe, but it’s hilarious how pissed off he seems about being returned to you
Awww, I’m so happy for the two of you
that’s very sweet, really glad you got your companion back, he looks beautiful and i wish you many years to enjoy at his side <3
Happy to hear it! Give him an extra pet for me.
