Six months ago a woman’s cat (Mr. D.) went missing in New Zealand. The owner did not stop looking for him, up to and including standing in a rented Puss-n-Boots costume at a business intersection with big photos of Mr. D.!

It sounds a pretty kooky, but once you listen to her being interviewed you’ll hear a very rational, thoughtful and saddened person simply trying to get a loved one back home. The owner was very sure (correctly so as it turns out) that the cat had simply gotten lost and may now been getting fed by someone, or even re-homed by a loving family. (This is New Zealand afterall, where nothing like Pogo’s murder happens.

Watch the video (click through if you don’t see it). It’s been the most watched video on Catster for the last couple of months.

6 months after the separation, the owner got a call from someone who said they saw Mr. D. in their neighborhood. Walking around the owner came across her cat! But being so thoughtful she even knocked on doors in the area in case anyone has taken the cat in and would be upset if he disappeared. If you’re on Catster you can stop in and say welcome back to Mr. D.
