If your cat’s been missing for nearly 14 years, the last thing you’d probably expect is to actually find it. But that is exactly what happened with Tiger Lily. She had been missing since October 12, 1996 and now she’s found!

Many cats don’t even live to be 14 years old so her owner, Ingrid Kerker, must be one happy lady. As you can imagine her shock when the Oakbank Animal Hospital called her to say they’d located Tiger Lily. She was identified by a code tattooed on the cat’s ear (tattooing is to microchipping as VHS is to DVDs).

I can’t imagine what it is like to lose a pet. My cat–her name is Lola–is currently passed out on a Snuggie. When Tiger Lily went missing the Kerkers wrote the date down in the family bible. They had done everything to find her but had no luck.

“We thought a fox got her,” Ingrid Kerker said Monday. “She just disappeared. We put up posters but she was never returned.”

The reunion was a happy one. Tiger Lily was as affectionate as the Kerkers remember. Their two boys were overly excited as they have family photos with Tiger Lily, napping together, back when they were toddlers. They don’t know where Tiger Lily was these past years but her rescuer said she could smell diesel fuel on the tabby.

“If only she could talk, what a story,” laughed Kerker.

The Kerker household currently has two cats and a dog. So Tiger Lily will have some adjusting. They say she is warming up to the cats but the verdict is still out on the dog.

Welcome back, Tiger Lily!

tattooing is to microchipping as VHS is to DVDs).

So what they say is: better a chip than a tattoo....
propaganda for the chip....or am I crazy?
(maybe both:o)

Yes another fuzzy story about the wonders of microchipping. The only time I have considered microchipping is with my horses. The local auctions check the neck for microchips before they are sold. Can prevent the horse from being sold to the slaughterhouse in many cases.
Although I don't get why europeans would eat american horse meat. talk about poisoned.. sheesh. Americans use a huge number of drugs on their horses, from toxic wormers to other things and many of the horses come thorugh the auction houses because of injuries that made them unridable. In many cases drugs were used recently to worm, rehabilitate an injury or simply to make an unmanagable horse cooperative for the auction staff. Most all these drugs say in huge letters NOT FOR USE IN ANIMALS INTENDED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION... no one cares. the people who buy them for meat don't, they won't be eating it. So to my friends in other countries don't eat horsemeat from the states!

Rather have a microchip. Tattoos are visible. What happens to a micro chip if you stand near a microwave? Or go through an airport scanner? Or have an x-ray? Has anyone thought this through??
