It’s not out of the ordinary for cats to go missing and spend months, weeks, or even years away before turning up at home or in the local area and surprising their families – we reported on one just last week that turned up in a different country. That said, you probably wouldn’t expect your cat to appear again after 16 years – longer than some cats live altogether. However, Carl Pullen was reunited with his cat, Sunshine, this year after she went missing back in 2009.

Obesity in cats can have major consequences on their health and quality of life and can result in conditions like cancer, arthritis, and diabetes. With more than 60% of cats in the US being obese, this is a growing problem that pet owners should take seriously – especially as it can significantly reduce a cat's lifespan by up to 10 years. Sometimes, our feline friends just don't know how to say no to the best cat food or best cat treats, leading to overfeeding by well-meaning owners.

We’d all go the extra mile for our pets, but you probably wouldn’t expect to save them from an alligator – it’s not something that happens every day. That’s what Kim Spencer from Florida had to do, however. Fortunately, her dog, Kona, is healing and back to enjoying plenty of attention in peace. On April 1, Spencer, an elementary school teacher, was walking with nine-year-old Kona when she noticed an alligator turning toward her and Kona, and Kim urged her to walk away.

Often, when cats go missing, they make their way home themselves or are found nearby, but this isn’t always the case. One cat in the UK was found 300 miles away months after disappearing. Luna went missing from her home in the town of Darlington, in the north of England, in November, and her mom Sophie Carty spent weeks looking for her. Four months later, she received a call to say that Luna had been found alive and locked in a hotel shed – in Scotland.
