Shirokuma came back, after 2 months, on the eve of our National Day!
Here’s the story from the owner, Stephen Wong:
Shirokuma was last seen on the 28th June 2012 before I left for work. He was not seen in the morning, so I took a half day leave to search for him and managed to find him.
When I finished work and reached home that day, what I found was an empty cage! Shirokuma was nowhere to be found! I immediately search everywhere in the house, hoping he was hiding somewhere but I can’t find him! After that I walked around the neighbourhood, calling his name, hoping he would jump out by hearing my voice, and yet, he did not.
With much grieve, I started to spread the news that Shirokuma was missing in Facebook and informed Animalcare about it. I designed a poster and forwarded to all netizen friends in hope of someone might spotted him. From hope to hopelessness, there was no news about Shirokuma at all.
I felt being torn apart when I saw the empty cage with all the accessories prepared for him. In remembrance of him, I finally decided to adopt a pair of stray kitten which I spotted during the search of Shirokuma. Furthermore, to ease my pain of losing Shirokuma, I named the kitten Shiro (male) and Kuma(female). Deep inside my heart, I was still longing that I will be able to find Shirokuma again.
After two months, when I returned from work of the National Day Eve, I saw Shirokuma appeared at the backyard of my house! I called his name and he responded to me. I quickly grabbed and hugged him and from there I further confirm he was Shirokuma by finding the details on him.
I then quickly showered him and noticed his nails have been trimmed. I believed that he was being adopted for the past two months.
Anyway, I had my best NATIONAL DAY with Shirokuma’s return! Now I have a big happy family with me in my house, Shirokuma being the big brother, Shiro being the second brother and Kuma being the young sister.
We wish Shirokuma, Shiro and Kuma a very happy and healthy life together with Stephen!

It’s been about a year now since Wangzhi went missing. Wishful thinking hoping one day he will suddenly reappear.
Meanwhile, let’s wish Wangzhi well and may he be happy wherever he is.
Yup really hope he is well & good.
This story gives hope to many who got missing cats. Thanks for sharing Stephen. Now you have a bigger family of furkids to love. Congratulations!
I used to have the same experience of missing cat and which she also successfully returned to me.
There was one time that I brought my Female Siamese Mix back to my hometown. One day my dad forgot to close the sliding door and she went missing. I went searching hide and low for her but unfortunately, she couldn’t be found. This led me to the internet which I learned that missing cat or cat that get lost would tend to hide itself.
This is due to that it is scared of the unfamiliar surroundings and normally, the cat won’t hide far from where she left. The furthest is one or two blocks away. They won’t even respond if the owner call its name, because it scares that something might attack him/her before he/she could reach for the owner.
I searched the whole area in my taman but failed. I also placed her favourite kibbles the whole bag plus her brother’s sleeping basket (the deceased ah wong) in the car porch so that she could smell it, yet there was no respond.
After about five days, she suddenly emerged in the front door, which I believe she took the risk to come out due to hunger/ thirst. Luckily she could identify the car (cause has her smell) and meow at the door so that I could greet her. She was so happy seeing me, like that she thought she would lost me forever. I did also pray in front of Avalokiteshara to guide her back and that was a day before.
Dear Stephen,
I congratulate you for re-uniting with your much loved cat. I notice that you keep them in cages. Cats are “roamers”; as such, I srongely encourage you to cat-prove your house so that they have a lot more space to exercise and play. Keeping cats or any animals in cages is not a long-term solution. Please do not sentence them to “life in jail”.
🙂 best news for the morning 🙂 I’m glad all is well.
