Amanda Appleyard and Databec Exchangeher husband, Mark, from York, England, were distraught when one of their beloved cats, Rodd, went missing from home for almost three months.

"These cats of mine are my everything, just like my kids; they mean the world," said Amanda. "I could not sleep at night knowing he was not asleep inside with us."

As the weeks went by, the family had all but given up hope of seeing Rodd again. But then, out of the blue, Amanda was thrilled to see him on security camera, ambling home, well-fed and acting like nothing had happened.
