What happened was I woke up Floppy as I took a second shot, and he was stretching here the best he could without disturbing Storm, who was still fast asleep.

I'd put up flyers in the area with this shot, along with some of the others you have of him before he disappeared, and then put your story on it, and say maybe that you realize he's well taken care of, but would like to know where's he's been living all this time. Maybe even talk to vets in the area? He's certainly been taken care of, and possibly one of the vets in your area might know the story.

Yes, his newest thing is to immediately push his head through the bottom of a new bag. He did that with the last bag while I was lying on the couch. He just went into the bag, and while I was watching, he just slowly and casually popped his head out of the bag, looking up right at me. I couldn't stop laughing for quite awhile.

Whatever happens, you did indeed get a gift of knowing his fate. Most people never know what happens to their pet when they disappear. Herman is obviously being well cared for and loved, and you gave him so much love that he returned 6 years later to say hello. It's very big of you that you can let him choose his own fate -- I don't think I'd have that strength. I really hope, though, that if he does return and hang around, that you might think of putting a collar with a note with yours and his story on it. You may well find that he's been very close by these 6 years, and if so, possibly you and his other family could both keep him in your lives.

Wow, just WOW! This is absolutely amazing! He looks great, I wouldn't be surprised if someone had taken him in close by and kept him as an indoor only cat all these years, and perhaps he got out through an open door or something. Keep an eye out for lost cat fliers with his picture! I'm really dumb-founded -- this was one of the saddest things I saw on here when he went missing, and the years went by, and you occasionally posted a picture , and said miracles DO happen. He went missing the year my Daisy passed away, so it was always a pretty sad thing to see this on here, knowing despite giving hope that he was almost certainly gone forever. Well, miracles DO happen after all!

Ambercat's slowed down enough to where he has long periods of being at rest now, and Floppy is fine with him then. He's also been trained not to pounce on Floppy.
