There is something about Christmas that brings the believer out in us. Something out there has to be working overtime at the end of the year, trying to reach all the deadlines. That is the only thing we can think of that can explain all the cat related Christmas miracles that happen at the end of the years. Freezing cats get rescued straight out of the snow, people skip holiday dinners because of a kitten they heard crying outside, lost cats get returned to owners who have already given up hope.
It's not the first time we have seen this happen, but this might be one of the most intense reunion stories. Nine year - it has been nine whole years since this person had lost their cat. A microchipped spayed cat. After nine years, we would have assumed the worst. But no, in a real Christmas miracle, this cat had been released from its prison - a hoarder's house to which he was catnapped nine years ago - and found its way back to where he belongs.
