Wendy has an incredible cat tale that I read on FB this summer. Wendy when you have some free time can you please share your story?
I have a similar story I am eager to tell.
My daughters 14 year old Kitty went missing from a hotel she was staying in two weeks ago. The cat - named Duck is old, deaf and senile. She has been with my daughter since she was in High School. Although she started out as an outdoor cat from a barn in Maine she ended up an indoor cat and has traveled to, and lived in, three different corners of the USA. In her ten years or so of being an indoor cat, she has never stopped trying to dash out the door.
My daughter lives in LA and was staying out past the Valley right off of the freeway. It was 103 degrees F. the day the cat went missing. She (the cat) was the litter runt and has always had breathing issues.
It is my daughters last day having to work in the Valley - she decided to check the shelters one last time before starting work on the opposite side of the city.
Today after being gone for 14 days, there on the website at the city shelter was Duck"s picture! She is fine!
They are reunited and I am such a happy grand cat mom.

Everyday for a week i would walk the fields, the woods, search in trees....nothing, not even remains. After 7 days i pretty much gave up my daily search. 11 days into her missing, one late evening i hear this pawing and frantic meowing at my front door, thinking i forgot the one cat left outside i open the door expecting to see remaining cat. To my surprise theres Topaz's face !!!!!!!! the missing/dead cat !!!!! I'm like wtf ! she looked good, although i could feel her back bone/spine pretty lumpy. She slept with me that night and in the morning i left for work. When i got home i decided to groom her...being careful as when i had checked her out i ded finf talon marks on her shoulders that after 11 days were scabbed over, but one of the combs tines broke open one of her wounds, ugh, white crap kept oooozing out, brought her to vet....she was severly dehydrated with a high temp. they cleaned out her wound, hooked her up with fluids etc... Topaz has returned to great health and most of all......she's home !!!! This is where wouldnt it had been great to have had a go-pro camera on her ?? 
Did the hawk bring her far away and when he landed to eat her up she then got away ? was she too heavy for him and dropped her ? Where did she hide all this time while her wounds healed ? She now has 8 more lives to GO !!!!
