She never thought she would see her cat again after he disappeared seven years earlier. As she told the American publication Newsweek, Nicole got up one morning and discovered Sooty “just sitting there calmly”.
An unbelievable sight
The young woman immediately recognised her pet, who has a distinctive notch in his ear and a white patch on his body.
Unfortunately, the cat wouldn't come any closer and disappeared as quickly as he had appeared.
A final goodbye?
She immediately noticed that her cat was thin and had bald patches on his back legs.
Nicole tried to catch him, but without success. As she later explained, she believes this brief appearance was a final farewell from Sooty, who is now 14 years old.
