Tohoku Cat, Missing Since 2011 Disaster, Reunited With Owners

OFUNATO, JAPAN - MAY 09: The collar, which Suika wears is seen on May 9, 2014 in Ofunato, Iwate, Japan. A cat was reunited with its owners for the first time in three years and two months, after the pet disappeared and was presumed killed by the 2011 tsunami that devastated this northeastern city. On April 10 this year, a couple spotted a black cat curled up in a pine forest in Rikuzentakata. They took in the cat, which wore a collar to the Ofunato Health Center. Days went by with no one showing up to claim the cat. So the center decided to print the cat's picture in a local newspaper. When an employee was taking the cat's photo on the morning of May 9, he noticed faded letters and numbers on the collar. He deciphered the name as 'Yamagishi' and made out the numbers. They turned out to be the cellphone number of Takeo Yamagishi. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
