A CAT that went missing from its Lochgelly home three years ago is now safely back home.
Simba went missing nearly three years ago in July 2021, and his owner, Amanda Somerville, never gave up hope of getting her beloved pet back.
Amanda commented: “I put up posters and everything for him. I had lots of phone calls but none of them were actually him.
“I felt like he was out there somewhere.”
Recently a woman came to Amanda’s door to ask her if she had got her pet back, and she took Amanda to see a cat that could be Simba. Amanda went along to get him, and was reunited with her beloved feline.
“The reunion was mind blowing really. He ran straight to me and he nuzzled his little head into my chest.
“He actually belonged to my mum before she passed away, I promised her I’d look after him.” Amanda said.
Now that he’s home, Simba is settling back in with Amanda’s other cats. She added: “I am just so grateful to get him back, it’s such a relief.
“He was actually in the same town I live in the whole time, just in a part I hadn’t looked.
“I am just so glad to have him back.”
Amanda offered a piece of advice to other people who are missing a pet: “Never give up, because you never know.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
