'Complete miracle. All the way to the end': Couple loses hope of finding their lost cat, until weeks later a random employee claims he found their feline nearly 56 miles away from home

Losing one of our cats is one of our worst fears. You try to be super-duper careful, leave no doors or windows open, inform visitors of the flight risks, and yet, accidents happen. A door closed, but not all the way, or a stray window left cracked open, and out they go to explore the big, bad world. They don't know how dangerous it is, but we do. So you search, you shake treat bags, you leave your clothes out so they can find you by smell, and you wait. You wait until you can't anymore.

The couple below had given up hope after the very thing happened to them. Their cat jumped off their balcony and decided to go on an adventure. They didn't find their cat for weeks. Until a man found a scared, but well-groomed cat in his workplace weeks later. He took a picture of the cat, reverse-image-searched for it (isn't technology today just so cool??), and found their 'missing cat' posters. He called them to inform them he found their cat, and they were both relieved and shocked. The relief is obvious, but they were shocked to learn that their cat was found 90km, or around 56 miles, away from their house.

They still have no idea how the cat got so far away, but they do know that him being found and returned to them was a complete and total meowracle. Read more of their rescue story below!

Who knows how the cat got there - purrhaps he hitched a ride on a truck, swam, or was somehow teleported there. Can a cat walk 90 kilometers in a few weeks? 90 kilometers is about 56 miles. That seems like a lot for a cat to walk. Also, cats are notoriously lazy, so it doesn't seem likely that they walked on their own paws to get there.

We have heard stories of people finding their lost cat, but then it turns out that the cat is actually an adorable impawster, but they seem pretty sure that it's their cat. They should probably scan the microchip, just to be 200% sure.
