Thật là một cách để chào hỏi sau năm năm xa cách.

Willow, con mèo được tìm thấy cách nhà 26.000 dặm sau khi mất tích vào năm 2006, đang được gia đình chào đón trong một cuộc đoàn tụ trước giới truyền thông khi nó cắn cô con gái ba tuổi của họ, Lauren Squires.

Cô gái tên là Lola đang đưa tay vuốt ve Willow thì bị con mèo cắn vào tay cô.

‘Cô ấy cắn tôi!’ Lola hét lên, thở hổn hển vì đau rồi bật khóc.

“Con bé đang lo lắng,” mẹ cô, Jamie trả lời, người đã quay lưng lại với Willow để an ủi cô.

Lola vừa mới thủ thỉ xong về việc cô nóng lòng muốn đưa Willow thất lạc đã lâu từ New York đến Colorado về nhà – nói: ‘Tôi sẽ cho nó ăn, chơi với nó, chăm sóc nó thật tốt’ – thì con mèo cáu kỉnh.

Sau khi mọi chuyện lắng xuống, bà Squires nói trước hội nghị: ‘Tôi nghĩ cảm giác của cô ấy bị tổn thương hơn bất cứ điều gì’.

Sau đó, cô và chồng cô, Chris, kể lại sự ngạc nhiên của họ khi được đoàn tụ với con vật cưng yêu quý của gia đình đã lang thang khỏi ngôi nhà ở Rocky Mountain của họ 5 năm trước.

The story of missing Willow gripped the U.S after she was found on a Manhattan street more than 1,600 miles from home. Fortunately she had been chipped as a kitten and the owners could be traced.

But no one could understand how Willow managed to get from her home in Colorado to the streets of New York – even though she had five years to make the journey.

However the mystery was solved when a man came forward to claim that Willow – known to him as Molly – was flown on an aeroplane.

Jamie and Chris Squires were ‘shocked’ to hear where Willow had been found.

The Squires and their three children travelled from their home in Boulder, Colorado to be reunited with Willow at the Hilton New York hotel last night.

Willow is set to fly back to Boulder on Sunday with her family. She will join her former housemate, a yellow Labrador named Roscoe, and a new one, an English mastiff called Zoe.

Mrs Squires said of her disappearance in Colorado: ‘To be honest, there are tons of coyotes around, and owls. She was just a little thing, five and a half pounds.

‘We put out the “Lost Cat” posters and the Craigslist thing, but we actually thought she’d been eaten by coyotes.’

The couple were ‘astounded’ when they got a call from Animal Care & Control in New York City, saying she had been found on East 20th Street.

Mrs Squires added that her husband told her not to tell their children until they were sure it was indeed Willow that had been found.

‘Then we saw the picture, and it was Willow,’ she said. ‘It’s been so long.’

Animal Care & Control Executive Director Julie Bank said a scanner found the microchip that led to the Squires family.

Mrs Squires says she hopes the unlikely reunion will prompt more people to put microchips in their pets.
