Our miracle cat appeared in our yard in 2001, with an injured leg. Up until my mother’s death in 2013, he was her constant companion. He had been in every house on our block, visiting and napping.
We guessed his age at the time to be about 14-15 years, given the estimate the vet made when we took him in. He was also the nosiest cat ever.
On October 6 of the next year, he went out and didn’t come home. After more than two months, a friend sent me a link to a local lost cats page. It was Blackadder!
The gentleman who posted the photo had rescued him from an empty apartment by prying open a window. We figure he had gone in when the landlord was checking the place out, but he hadn’t been able to get out. He was there for two months, living on (we assume) whatever he could catch. Other than weight loss, the vet could find no ill effects from his adventure.
My family and I were so thankful to the man who made it his business to get Blackadder out, and to the lost cats group who make it possible for owners to find their kitties again.
On Christmas Eve that year, Blackadder and his four furry family members were all at home, sleeping peacefully. Blackadder is our Christmas miracle.
