忠心小猫跋涉千里寻主人创奇迹

A CAT has baffled experts after trekking 2,000 MILES across Russia to find his family after they moved house.

Caring owner Ravila Hairova, 52, thought her grey moggie Karim would find the change too upsetting when she moved, so she arranged to let her neighbours take him in.

She even left his favourite chair, cushion and food bowls behind in Gulistan, Uzbekistan.

But incredibly TWO years later she found her bedraggled, starving pet waiting on her doorstep when she returned to her home in Liska, Russia.

She said: "I knew he had disappeared from my neighbours' home a few days after we left which was very sad but we never heard another word about him.

"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."

Now nine-year-old Karim - who crossed three state borders to reach his owners - is like the cat who got the cream as he settles into his new home.

Ravila said: "He is very happy now and so are we. I've no idea how he found us but I'm very glad he did."

Ravila's husband Lev Kondratyev, 46, said: "We called to see how Karim was the day after we arrived and our neighbours told us that he had run off - we then called every day for weeks hoping for news and gradually we gave up hope.

"He looks like he used up all of his nine lives to get to us - but it's definitely him.

"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 recognised us as well."

据《太阳报》报道，一只小猫花了两年时间，独自从乌兹别克斯坦出发，跋涉3200多公里找到移居俄罗斯的主人一家。

52岁的哈伊若娃和家人两年多前从乌兹别克斯坦的老宅搬走时把心爱的宠物猫卡里姆送给邻居照顾。但是他们到达俄罗斯里斯卡的新家第二天就接到邻居的电话，得知卡里姆已经走失了。担心不已的一家人在随后几周里每天都打电话询问，却一直没能如愿得到它的消息。

不久前，哈伊若娃回家时惊喜地发现卡里姆居然在门口等她，尽管它已经变得又脏又瘦，看得出这只忠心耿耿的小猫在主人的新家里非常快乐。

哈伊若娃一家难以想象卡里姆究竟是怎样穿过3条国境线找到3200多公里外的主人，但是他们确定它一定在路上吃了不少苦，几乎把九条命都用光了。
