Lost Cat Returned After Nine Years
What are the chances?
LONDON (Reuters) - A couple have been reunited with their missing cat after nine years, the RSPCA said Wednesday.
Dixie, a 15-year-old ginger cat, disappeared in 1999 and her owners thought she had been killed by a car.
She was found less than half a mile from her home in Birmingham after a concerned resident rang the animal charity to report a thin and disheveled cat who had been in the area for a couple of months.
RSPCA Animal Collection Officer Alan Pittaway checked her microchip and confirmed it was Dixie. She was returned to her owners, Alan and Gilly Delaney, within half an hour.
"In 29 years of working for the RSPCA I have never seen anyone so excited and happy as Mrs Delaney," Pittaway said. "It made my day to return Dixie to her owners."
The couple were "overjoyed" to be reunited with their missing cat after so many years.
"Dixie's personality, behavior and little mannerisms have not changed at all," said Gilly Delaney. "We don't think she has stopped purring since she came back through the door."
The RSPCA hope the story will encourage owners to have their pets microchipped. What are the chances? ... more -

Is 'Maddie' Madeline?
"My name's Maddie. They took me from my holiday." Secret CCTV footage and documents from Amsterdam have been kept by foreign police. The newly-released documents include scores of e-mails from foreign police forces passing on reports that could provide investigators with a key lead but the Amsterdam sighting is one of the most intriguing.
Dutch shop worker Anna Stam, 41, said she spoke to a little girl aged three or four who said her name was 'Maddie' and replied to a question about her mother: 'They took me from my holiday.'

What do you think? Could Maddie be Madeline? It may be a real bad although un-likely coincidence, but if she isn't and her Maddies' 'mother' does'nt come to eliminate herself from the investigation after hearing such news, that'd prove she's Madeline McCann.
But do you think the media so reading word of this, might lead kid-nappers to harm Madeline just after a nose that could stress out any criminals? Or just allow people to be some how even more of a look out for 'Maddie'? Is the media attention causing more bad then good? If it is her, how is this person pulling this off? "My name's Maddie.

Stray parrot returns home after repeating its name and address
A stray parrot was reunited with its owner in Japan after repeating its name and address at the local veterinary clinic that took it in, police said.
Police captured the red-tailed African Grey, Yosuke, earlier this month after a woman called to say it was sitting on a fence in her backyard near Tokyo.
The parrot was then handed over to the animal clinic to be cared for.
It began by greeting people and singing popular children's songs, before repeating its name and address.
Police matched the name with its owner, who was reunited with Yosuke earlier this week.
