Two weeks after disappearing from the side of its bedbound Angus owner, a devoted cat has walked back into her life.
The distinctive cat has been at Maureen’s side throughout her long wait for a serious operation, popping out only occasionally, but failed to return a fortnight ago.
The loss of her ‘baby Sara’ led to a further deterioration in Maureen’s health, but out of the blue the loving pet arrived back home in the early hours last week, thin and nervy after her time away.
“She arrived home exactly two weeks after she went missing and I just want people to know that I am so grateful for everything they did to try and help find her,” said an overwhelmed Maureen.
“We had phone calls from as far as Forfar when people knew she was missing, messages on facebook and everybody has just been so nice.”
Maureen, 60, added: “I was devastated, I was trying to get my strength up for my operation and this was just such a terrible thing.
“She would never go out for long and would then come straight back to me so it was terrible when she went missing.
“I couldn’t go out and look for her, I felt so helpless,” she added.
But a familiar meowing signalled the happy homecoming.
“She came home around 5am, came bounding up the stairs and was so vocal. Since then she hasn’t let me out of her sight,” continued Maureen.
“She was very thin and I think she may have got stuck in somewhere, but the vets have checked her over and she is fine.
“I am just over the moon to have her back and so grateful to everyone who was worried about her and looking out for her,” said Maureen.
