According to people and other foreign media, about six months ago, a resident of Oceana County, a rural town in Michigan, brought home a black cat wandering on the street and raised it. However, he entrusted his newly adopted cat to an animal protection organization as the disturbance continued, including frequent fights with other existing cats.
The animal shelter took the cat to the animal hospital for neutering surgery, and surprisingly, a microchip containing the owner's information was found.
According to the examination, the cat was named 'Trixie' and the owner was Olga Hagis. However, Hagis was found to live in Germany, which is 6,400 kilometers away.
As a result, animal rights groups could not understand how Trixie came across from Germany to the United States.
There was no record of air transport or adoption, and some raised the possibility that Trixie might have been carried on a container ship.
The mystery was solved by a phone call with Trixie's owner living in Germany.
Ms. Hagis lived in Michigan in the U.S. and moved to Germany in 2020 because of her husband's work.
According to her, a few months before the move, Trixie suddenly disappeared and later tried in vain to find it, such as distributing wanted flyers.
Even after moving to Germany, she had a longing for Trixie, and was recently surprised to hear from an animal rights group.
She repeatedly shouted "Oh, my God, this is a miracle" on the phone, and revealed that she couldn't wait to reunite with Trixie.
Netizens said, `It is also a miracle that cats survived on the streets for five years", "If the adopter had discovered the microchip earlier…", "Maybe someone threw it away while raising it."
