Aren't you glad it's Friday? Do you want to maybe cry a little in celebration? Then check out this video, below, of Judy Pugh, whose home was destroyed by the tornadoes that swept through Tuscaloosa, Alabama on April 27. The ferocious twister left at least 39 dead in Tuscaloosa alone. Pugh cheerfully told local station WIAT that she rushed to the hallway with her three cats when the mile-wide tornado hit. The roof fell on top of her, but miraculously she and two of her cats were all in one piece. "I tried to get to my hands and knees but I couldn't. I heard the young men calling 'Ms. Judy, Ms. Judy, are you in there?'" she recalls. Pugh was telling the station reporter about how much she missed her third cat Cadie, whom she hadn't been able to find for three weeks, when the cat walked right up to her during the interview. "I have everything I want now. I have all three cats," she said.

Aw, that’s wonderful! So glad she was reunited with her cat!
Awesome story!!
Did you watch the video? It was wonderful to see!
Of course...what a sweet lady!
You could hear Cadie purring, what a sweet reunion story. “I have everything I need now”. What truer words for times like this, for all times.
Tomorrow is the end of the world and I spent tonight crying over some lady’s cat that had been missing for three weeks. Its hard to be a curmudgeon when you watch something like this.
Yep, that’s sweet alright. Very happy for her and her cat.

Thanks for the link! Decided to put it up on my Facebook page - looks like 26,000+ people have done likewise already. Wow. Great story.
She has her three cats and she says, “I have everything.” It shows you what’s really important in life—not the material things at all, but those we love. Thank You, Lord, for sending her this blessing and preserving her kitty in health for the past month. Please take care of her.
On my knees for the people of Tuscaloosa.

What a ray of sunshine after such tragedy. Loved the video.
This was so sweet. I’m glad she found her fur baby!
I have waited all my life to be promoted to the rank of curmudgeon and now I are one... I always thought it was about honing one’s skills to be simultaneously crusty on the outside yest mellow within. Well known to your inner circle of being capable of taking off heads one moment while gently drying tears the next.
A friend at work just told me this story today. LOL, I love cats, they really are magical.
That was just the sweetest thing! And that cat looked like he’d been living wild for the past few weeks, all matted and everything. I’m sure he didn’t starve, though; too many critters in the woods to eat, I’m sure!
Screen went all blurry there for a little while...
