If someone asks you one day, will dogs miss their owners? I think most people would nod without hesitation and say yes, but if I ask you, do cats miss their owners? I think some people will be more or less hesitant. After all, cat owners don’t bark for nothing, and some cats are indeed unfamiliar with raising them. In their eyes, we are just feeding tools, but not all cats are like this. The cat mentioned next misses its owner very much.

This is the story of a cat that waited for its owner to come back and survived alone for 73 days! This blue cat was trapped at home in Wuhan for 73 days. During these 73 days, the cat struggled to survive at home. When the cat saw its owner again after 73 days, it cried with tears streaming down its face.

The cat was trapped alone at home for 73 days

A poop scraper in Wuhan raised a blue cat. The cat was usually well-behaved and obedient, and was deeply loved by its owner. On January 21 this year, the shit collector planned to return to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Because his hometown is far away and he will only go back for 5-6 days, he was afraid that the cat would have a stress reaction during the journey, so the shit collector chose to let the cat stay alone in Wuhan while he returned to Wuhan immediately after celebrating the New Year. When he left, he was afraid that the cat would be hungry, so he left about 15 days of cat food and 20 days of water for the cat. The amount of food left for the cat was more than three times the amount of the trip, so he went home with peace of mind. But what the official didn't expect was that on January 23, the third day after he returned home for the New Year, Wuhan was locked down. At first, the scavenger did not pay attention. He believed that the epidemic would be under control soon, and he left food and water for the cat for half a month. But more than 20 days passed, and the lockdown was still ongoing. The cat owner panicked. In the following 30 days, the cat owner tried every means to save his cat, such as finding a locksmith or having an errand boy come to the door, but they all ended in failure. After being trapped for 54 days, the cat was still alive

Until mid-March, after many twists and turns, the poop scraper finally contacted a neighbor who lived in the same community as him, and the neighbor agreed to help rescue the cat.

But it was already the 54th day that the cat had been trapped. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the cat to survive, so the poop remover was devastated and quietly waited for the neighbor's "bad news." When the neighbor entered the house that day, the house was in a mess. Many things had been knocked over by the cat. The house was so messy that the neighbor couldn't find the cat for a while. Just when the neighbor was about to tell the scavenger that the cat had not been found, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something in a cat nest in the bedroom. When he looked closely, he saw a cat lying quietly in the cat nest, shrinking his neck and staring at the neighbor with big frightened eyes. The cat was still alive! How did it survive?

The scavenger cried with joy when he learned that the cat was still alive, but at the same time he had a question: how did the cat survive when he only left cat food for 15 days? According to the official, in addition to the 15 days of cat food he left for the cat, there are also 2 large bags of reserve food at home. The cat tore open the reserve food after being extremely hungry, so it survived. As for the problem of drinking water, it is currently unknown.

When the cat saw its owner again, the cat burst into tears. In early April, on the 73rd day when the cat was trying to survive alone at home, the poop scraper came back. The poop scraper took out the cat’s favorite ham sausage and fed it to the cat. However, the cat shed tears while eating.

73 days, a whole 73 days, a cat was trapped at home alone. How did it get through these 73 days? We can't understand how helpless it is.

Fortunately, this poop scraper is a responsible person. He has never given up. He has always been thinking about his cat, and the cat is also very upbeat, thinking about its owner, and working hard to survive! This is the first time that the author has seen a cat cry, and it was full of tears. The tears contained grievances, complaints, and longing for the owner, but in the end the outcome was good. Thumbs up for the owner and the cat!

After reading this, I was moved by this cat’s tenacity and longing for its owner. So not all cats are the kind of cats that don’t miss their owners. They are only a minority. Most cats will still miss their owners.
