    POLDI THE FORESTER

    When Poldi the pet cat walked out of her family's home in Munich, Germany in 1996, she was (almost) never seen again. The Mosers desperately searched to find their missing cat but after months of looking, they gave up on believing they'd ever find him. According to The (U.K.) Daily Mail, hikers found a cat in the middle of a forest 16 years later, 20 miles away from the Moser family home. The cat had a name tattooed on his ear, as well as his owner's name. The hikers contacted the animal rescue center who then contacted Monika Moser. No one is sure where the cat was for all that time, but Poldi seemed happy to be back with his family.
