ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA (WFTV) – Kathleen Crichton knows she won’t ever figure out how her cat got to Gainesville, but hopes he hasn’t been on his own for the past eight years.

“If only he could tell his story. I want to know how he got to Gainesville. Did he trek there over the last eight years? Did someone pick him up and move to Gainesville with him?” Crichton asked.

Her cat, Smelly, disappeared from her Waterford Lakes home in 2008, when she then had three cats and a dog. Now, eight years later, she has three sons and a fish.

Crichton never imagined she would get back the cat she lost years ago; she remembers the day he disappeared.
