‘A joyful reunion’: Missing cat reunites with family after 2 years

Ushamma’s family recently celebrated a happy moment as their pet cat – Ratheesh, who went missing during COVID-19, recently came back home. The cat returned to his human mom’s house in Puthuppally, a town in the Kottayam district, after almost two years.

As per Ushamma, she adopted the feline in 2016 and named him after a famous dialogue 'Unaru Ratheesh' of the Malayalam film 'Kattappanaile Hrithik Roshan'.

Four years ago, the cat had a terrible accident in which one of his legs was broken, and the feline underwent surgery.

Unfortunately, Ratheesh disappeared during the pandemic time and his family was heartbroken as they were worried for the safety of their beloved pet.

However, they believed Ratheesh would survive. Following his disappearance, Ushamma and her family searched for him around the neighbourhood by calling out his name.

"My cat went missing two years ago in COVID time. Now he has returned to our home. Four years back, the cat had an accident and we spent Rs 6000 for surgery. Now he is back, we are happy, "Ushamma added.

After getting to know that Ratheesh is back, neighbours are also visiting Ushamma's house to meet the cat every day.

"The cat himself returned to the village and directly went to his owner's house and when he saw Ushamma, he ran to her and started smelling her hand so that he could recognize her,” said a neighbour.
