Kitty found after 15 years...

Our next story has to do with another rare animal find, but this is more of the domestic variety.

A woman was reunited with her long-lost cat after he had been missing for more than 15 years. Poldi, as he is affectionately known, was found in the woods behind a home in Munich.

At first, the teenager who found him thought he was a stray, but an ID tattoo behind his ear showed that he belonged to a family and had been missing since 1996.

The ginger tomcat was malnourished and missing his front teeth, but he was friendly and receptive to the strangers who cared for him for a few days. When they discovered his tattoo, they took him to an animal sanctuary to see if his name was in the database of missing animals. He was, as was his owner's information.

When Poldi's original owner was contacted, she was dumbfounded. She had long given up hope of finding Poldi. She says she thinks he originally ran away because he did not get along with her other furry feline.
