long lost archie

I just got a call from my mom because she wanted to tell me something pretty funny, and actually quite amazing.
Our family has had this cat named Archie for quite a long time. 5 or 6 years, maybe more. He's a pretty sweet cat because he does his own thing and minds his own business all the time. He's really independent, which I like about him. He kills his own birds and mice and doesn't rely on us for his everyday grub like most cats.

So anyway, it's a pretty normal thing for him to disappear and not see him for weeks. If he's gone for more than a month, which has happened a couple times, then we start to think that he's really gone. But the darn cat always comes back.

I suppose Archie had some serious stuff to take care of in Oregon because he has been gone for the last 9 months and he just returned home. We thought he was gone for sure. Crazy cat.
