Pets

She must be ecstatic to be home.

One of my cats was a stray that showed up last year, rail thin and desperate. When I brought him to the vet, they discovered he'd been microchipped. Of course, I contacted the owner, and it turned out he'd been missing for three months! They came and picked him up--they live on my street, just past where I'd stopped asking people if they knew this cat--but he showed up at my house again the next day. And the next. And the next. After two weeks, they asked me if I would just keep him.

I was worried that he might have liver or kidney damage from being dehydrated and from losing so much weight so fast, but he's doing great.
