A cat from Russia’s Siberian Krasnoyarsk region has travelled more than 70 km looking for his masters, who’d moved to another town.
The animal did not take up the long journey in vain and he was finally reunited with his lost ‘family’.
They all used to live in the town of Divnogorsk, not far from Krasnoyarsk, but the family had to leave it for another town of Sosnovoborsk. In the rush nobody noticed the cat had gone missing.
“We were searching for him for quite a long time but we never found him,” says Sergey Minskikh. “The children were very unhappy. They loved the pet. He has been living with them for five years.”
To the family’s surprise and joy the cat appeared on the doorstep of their new apartment three months later, when everyone had lost any hope of seeing it again.
The poor animal was very skinny and looked worn out, but was apparently no less happy than his masters.
It has now become the talk of the town, receiving regular visits from the neighbours and friends of the Minskikh family. He enjoys the attention – without leaving the apartment, though.

From slavery to love“Back to Love” is a song about slavery and human trafficking. Pop star Valeria has chosen it to perform this weekend at the national final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow. |
Obviously, the cat was not happy with the prospect of leaving its territory. That's why nobody could find it when the Minskikhs were to move from their old home. However, when the cat realised the masters had really gone, its love for them prevailed and the cat set off for a long journey. Now, the right question to be answerred is how the cat could knew which direction its masters have gone to? In my opinion this is just a prime example of a phenomenon that living beings are generally capable of having a long-distant communication that is not based either on acoustics, or on visually seing each other. That is what is usually termed as "paranormal" way of communication, but I am of opinion that it is in no way a "para" kind of activity. It is just "normal" phenomenon, though not quite usual among humans for it has not been investigated fully. The whole story is wonderful. Hope the Minskikhs will be happy together with their dear friend (family member).
