Cat travels more than 450km across France and reunites with owners 13 months after going missing
- last year
A cat travelled more than 280 miles (450 km) to its old home before being reunited with her relocated owners - 13 months later.
Laëtitia De Amicis, 41, relocated with her family from Ambly-sur-Meuse, in the Orne region of France, to Ginai in Normandy, for work reasons a year ago.
The family took great care to keep their three cats Felys, Crapaud, and Cocci, in the new house, as they were worried they'd get lost in different surroundings.
But Cocci went missing in August 2021, only to be found by a stranger - more than 450 kilometres away 13 months later - near their previous family home.
The worried family, including Laëtitia's two children, had searched for Cocci for three months, but to no avail.
To stop children, Tom, 17, and Margot, 13, from worrying, Laëtitia told them she thought Cocci had probably gone home to look for them in Ambly - not believing for a second it could be true.
Incredibly, on October 2, Laëtitia saw a post shared on Facebook saying that a stray cat had been found in Souilly, a town located just 10 kilometers away from Ambly-sur-Meuse.
