She might have forgotten where home is, but Julie the cat never forgets a face.

According to Current in Carmel, the black feline from Carmel, Indiana, slipped out of her home in 2012 and could not be found.

At the time, Lorinda Roberts, mother to the cat’s owner, Jon Gulla, relentlessly searched for the feline, but had to refocus her efforts when Gulla was diagnosed with lymphoma shortly after Julie’s escape. Julie remained missing, but was never far from Gulla and Roberts’ thoughts. “Every once in a while you find that needle in a haystack,” Roberts told Current in Carmel on why she never gave up hope the cat would be found.

I walked out in the pasture in the dark checking a coyote, about a quarter mile. Half way, walking back, were four little black lunps. They got tired I guess but made it back ok.

Love the kitties....

We have four cats. All are loving and affectionate! So sweet and cuddly. One male, three females. Our 18 & 19 year old cats passed away, and we got two kittens in March. So sweet. They think we are their momma cats.

They sound like dears. I think they are happier when they have other cats to live with. My DaisyJane is an only kittie, got her at 6 weeks old, too young to leave her mom and littermates, but the kittens were dropped off at an animal sanctuary when the woman dropped them off. Thank goodness she did.

I love this cat truly, dearly, and she loves me when she loves me. Bossy, and she expects me to adhere to her schedule. Bites for no reason. Nips, really, but those sharp little teeth hurt. Vet explained that tri-colored tabbies have an extra gene that makes them super intelligent and feisty.

I’ve had nonstop cats for 40 years; they live into their late teens except the last one who was apparently intentionally poisoned. A lover boy, I still miss him. Three weeks after he died: DaisyJane.
