Lost California Cat Turns Up 9 Years Later in IdahoLosing a beloved pet is a devastating experience. And that's precisely what Susan Moore, a woman from California, felt when her cat Harriet disappeared nine years ago. Moore searched every nook and cranny for the feline and even contacted shelters and lost pet sites. Unfortunately, there was no sign of Harriet. Her husband thought that the cat was killed by a coyote.Fast forward to today, over nine years later, when Moore received a surprising phone call."We found your cat," the caller informed Moore."My cat?" a puzzled Moore replied."We found Harriet," the caller clarified."Excuse me? What cat are you talking about?""We found your cat. I'm calling from Hayden. I have your cat."However, Moore replied that she was not familiar with Hayden, California."That's because we're in Idaho," the caller explained.It would take a few more minutes of explanation before everything became clear to Moore. Apparently, the cat was found by a passerby and brought to the Companions Animal Center (formerly Kootenai Humane Society), where it would be scanned for a microchip. The microchip then gave Moore's contact number. But how would a cat from California suddenly turn up in Idaho? No one knows.Moore theorizes that the cat probably hopped on her husband's horse trailer and off when the trailer reached the rodeo.While Moore thinks Harriet probably no longer remembers her, she still will welcome her back to her ranch.(Image Credit: Companions Animal Center)#Pets #MissingPets #Idaho #California
