The Smyth family from Bangor, Northern Ireland, started losing hope they would see their beloved cat Blueberry return home. After all, the feline was missing since November 2019. However, they recently got a surprise call that Blueberry was actually alive and well, although he somehow ended up in a different country.

As it turns out, Blueberry was spotted by a man from the village of Moycullen in Ireland, some 150 miles away from Bangor. He was ill, so the man decided to take her to the vet for treatment. While there, the veterinarian discovered the cat had a microchip.

A search in the Europetnet pet database, which covers 26 countries in Europe, helped them find more information about Blueberry, including his owners. They contacted the Smyth family, who had a hard time believing that their cat was coming back after all those years.

Blueberry was reunited with her family earlier this month, and it turned out that she didn’t forget her owners despite all those years of wandering.

“We are still in shock. It’s just brilliant,” said Hannah Smyth in a chat with Belfast Telegraph. “He knew it was us; as soon as the girls brought him out, he started with the head-butts.”

Pets can provide us with joy and companionship, but their lifespan is usually much shorter than ours. Unfortunately, this means that at some point we have to say goodbye to them. Minnesota-native, Jeanna Smith, will probably not have to go through this loss because her pet will probably outlive her.

When Jeanna was 10 years old, back in 1962, she received George, a pet tortoise, as a birthday gift. George was the perfect pet for Jeanna because she was always a fan of turtles and she immediately developed a special bond with the animal. This relationship has lasted 56 years and still counting.

This duo has never parted, Jeanna even brought George to college with her (even though pets were not allowed in the dorms). When Jeanna met her husband Kirby, she immediately let him know that George was part of the deal. Her family, which now includes Kirby and their kids, also grew fond of this unusual pet and accepted him as a full-time member of the family.
