"LONDON (Reuters) - A couple have been reunited with their missing cat after nine years, the RSPCA said on Wednesday.
Dixie, a 15-year-old ginger cat, disappeared in 1999 and her owners thought she had been killed by a car.
She was found less than half a mile from her home in Birmingham after a concerned resident rang the animal charity to report a thin and dishevelled cat who had been in the area for a couple of months.
RSPCA Animal Collection Officer Alan Pittaway checked her microchip and confirmed it was Dixie. She was returned to her owners, Alan and Gilly Delaney, within half an hour.
"In 29 years of working for the RSPCA I have never seen anyone so excited and happy as Mrs Delaney," Pittaway said. "It made my day to return Dixie to her owners."
The couple were "overjoyed" to be reunited with their missing cat after so many years.
"Dixie's personality, behaviour and little mannerisms have not changed at all," said Gilly Delaney. "We don't think she has stopped purring since she came back through the door."
The RSPCA hope the story will encourage owners to have their pets microchipped."

This was such a wonderpurr story--I just had to share it :o)
Tonight, I'll be purring real loud for all the lost kitties out there. I hope each of you return home safely (and soon!).
Hugs ♥,

Hello, furriends! I was tagged by my cute furriend, Rosie. I’m going to list six things that I like!
1. I love when my Pawpaw gets home from work. I greet him with lots of meows and headbonks!
2. I love to cuddle with meowmy in bed. She likes it, too!
3. I love to knead and suckle on mom’s “Sera Soft” blanket. I purr so loud when I knead—Mom says I sound like a tiny motor boat!
4. I love Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys, especially their White Meat Chicken Florentine flavor.
5. I love sleeping on top of the entertainment center. It’s warm up there!
6. I love going outside with my brofur and pawrents. I get to chew on grass, chase bugs, and scratch trees!
I tag:
1. Benjamin
2. Powder
3. Riley
4. Milo
5. Tarcin
6. Mr. Lollycat
