WGN9: BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. — One cat. Two families. And a whole lot of mystery about what happened over the past two and a half years.
One woman says her cat went missing in September of 2013.
Another woman says a cat was begging to come into her home at exactly the same time. She and her husband let it in and kept the cat for two and a half years claiming they couldn’t locate the owner.
Meanwhile, the original owner has been living three doors away from the cat and never knew it all this time
Joey is the Himalayan cat at the center of this tale and he is tugging at the heart strings of two Bloomingdale families.
Joey was adopted by Nichole Milone in March of 2011. With taxes, she paid $1100 for him and has the papers to prove he was micro chipped. MORE HERE
And if both families were shrunk to 3″ tall, the cat would torment and devour them all with great joy.
Damn. I’ve seen custody battles over children that never got this involved.
However, when you find a good pussy, it’s hard to let it go.

It’s Chigago and it should be settled the Chigao way. Shoot it out.
A righteous judge, Solomon, had the right idea.
Have both families stand before the judge as he renders his judgement of cutting the cat in half.
Would the rightful owner or the filcher relinquish their claim?
It’s obvious that the family that bought the cat owns it. The other family is lying.
Geeze, it’s a friggin’ cat. It’s not like there is a shortage of cats anywhere in the world! Go to the shelter and get another one. In the unlikely event that they run out, don’t worry, they will make more.
We had an unknown cat show up at our home and he acted SO desperate to get in our house; he even got on the roof and cried while looking in our windows. I reluctantly fed him a little outside for a couple of days while I started searching for “lost cat” ads. I found a poster posted around the corner from us, contacted them and it was their cat and they lived 8 houses away around the corner! That cat had a history of doing that!
Cats sometimes search for new families when they don’t lIke the one they’ve got.
When I was in high school, there was a family a block over with a big orange-and-white cat named Samson. Samson started coming to our house crying for food. We always had cat food on hand, so my mother would feed him. She couldn’t understand why Samson wouldn’t eat at home.
One day she ran into the woman who lived next door to Samson’s family. It turned out that the couple who owned Samson were fighting loudly and daily. The wife was cheating on the husband, and the scenes between them got pretty ugly.
Our theory was always that either Samson was badly affected by the stress at home, or he was being neglected in all the family drama. So my question is, what was going on with Joey’s owners that made him seek out his adoptive family?
Some years back, our cat suddenly seemed to be off his feed, and I almost took him to the vet, fearing that illness was the cause of his loss of appetite. Then one day my wife noticed the cat on a neighbor’s porch a couple of houses down the block. She talked to the guy who lived there and found out that he thought the cat was a stray. He felt sorry for the cat and wanted to feed it, but had no cat food, so he had been giving it cans of Starkist tuna!
No damn wonder the cat didn’t want to eat his Friskies dry food when he came home!
