Cat Lost 2 Years Returned Via Facebook

(CBS)  WCCO's Darcy Pohland reports on a happy reunion between a Minnesota couple and their cat that was missing two years.

Bob the cat slipped out of the East Bethel, Minn. home of Shane and Nicole Meide. The family gave up hope of ever seeing Bob again. Then, just a short time ago, they were reunited by a Facebook connection.

"We got him after we got back from our honeymoon," said Bob's owner Shane Meide.

So Bob the cat held a special place in the newlywed's hearts.

"We love everything about his personality. We love the size, we love big, fat cats," said Nicole Meide.

So they were heart-broken when Bob escaped and ran away months later.


Here's the story about how they got him back, and video:

"We love the size, we love big, fat cats," said Nicole Meide."

I think this is why he left home. They called him "fat". That's abuse. : )

Bob ESCAPED? Ran away? Was Bob not happy? Why would a happy cat run away?

Maybe he wasn't happy and some fool just returned him to an unhappy home? Poor Bob. :(
