'Heartbroken' cat makes the long journey home


Hong Kong - A homesick cat walked a hundred kilometres back home after being given away by its Beijing owner, a news report said on Thursday.

The three-year-old cat ran away from its new home and spent 40 days finding its way back to its old owner in the Chinese capital, according to the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily.

The female owner, who had given the cat away to a friend outside the city, was stunned when the cat turned up on her doorstep on Tuesday, the newspaper said.

The cat had shed 2,5kg and weighed just 800g when it arrived home. The owner told the newspaper she would never let the cat go again. - Sapa-dpa

Thats one determined cat.

Cat's determine whether or not they will live with a person. I had a stray once that watched our house for months before jumping up in my lap one day while sitting on our swing.

Aw bless it's soul.....do hope mine would do the same!

I dread the day may cat passes on or I have to have her put to sleep. It will break my heart like fragile glass.

We give our hearts to friends with much shorter lives than us.

But they give us so much love.

That's amazing the cat could make it that far without ending up in someones wok... (you know I'm kidding!)

I know what you means......and I only got Harvey for about 7 months and it still will break my heart!
