She even left his favorite chair, cushion and food bowls behind in Gulistan, Uzbekistan, so he would feel at home. But two years later she found her bedraggled, starving pet waiting on her doorstep at her new home in Liska, Russia.
"I knew he had disappeared from my neighbors' home a few days after we left which was very sad but we never heard another word about him," she said. "Then I was walking along the road and I saw this cat which seemed to be waiting for me. When I go closer I saw it was Karim - thin, and in very poor condition but it was him. He is very happy now and so are we. I've no idea how he found us but I'm very glad he did."

There are certain marks on his body including a scar on his tail when it was caught in the door that show us he is 100 per cent our Karim - and he obviously recognized us as well."
