卡特里娜飓风过后走失的猫咪 失踪五年后回家

       五年前,卡特里娜飓风过后,美国密西西比州比洛克西市詹尼弗•诺布尔家的两岁猫咪失踪。彼时,飓风过后,城市断电,无法开空调,为通风降低室内温度,诺布尔将窗户敞开,猫咪趁机从家逃走。

       这只猫是一只俄罗斯蓝猫,名叫斯科拉博。诺布尔说,她以为猫咪再也回不了家了。但是最近南密西西比慈善协会和她联系,说他们找到一只猫,检查了猫脖子上植入的微芯片后,发现猫是她家的。慈善协会遂将猫咪送回。这只猫在外生活五个月后,有了些许野性。诺布尔说:“现在,他还有些神经质。他不像以前那样温顺了。他有了一点儿野性。”她还说:“他如果能说话,我相信他有个很精彩的故事要讲给我们听。”

       这只猫咪被发现时,健康状况良好,只不过身上有几处伤痕。南密西西比慈善协会的负责人表示:“这就是微芯片的力量。除此之外,这只猫没其它的办法找回家。这是一个有美好结局的戏剧性故事。”
