LONDON (Reuters) - A couple have been reunited with their missing cat after nine years, the RSPCA said on Wednesday.

Dixie, a 15-year-old ginger cat, disappeared in 1999 and her owners thought she had been killed by a car.

She was found less than half a mile from her home in Birmingham after a concerned resident rang the animal charity to report a thin and dishevelled cat who had been in the area for a couple of months.

RSPCA Animal Collection Officer Alan Pittaway checked her microchip and confirmed it was Dixie. She was returned to her owners, Alan and Gilly Delaney, within half an hour.

"In 29 years of working for the RSPCA I have never seen anyone so excited and happy as Mrs Delaney," Pittaway said. "It made my day to return Dixie to her owners."

The couple were "overjoyed" to be reunited with their missing cat after so many years.

"Dixie's personality, behaviour and little mannerisms have not changed at all," said Gilly Delaney. "We don't think she has stopped purring since she came back through the door."

The RSPCA hope the story will encourage owners to have their pets microchipped.

If our cats are purring constantly, their personalities have changed. If our cats are purring, we know it's time to put more food in the auto-feeder.

At least yours just purr. My cat won't shut up. Every time I stand up to go to another room, she races to her food bowl thinking that's actually where I'm going.

I wonder if the cat was alien abducted and anally probed.

There are times I intentially let the feeder stay empty for a while and make them be nice.

We have a family in church that got married a few years back. She moved out of her mom and dads and moved accross town into their own place(about 3-4 miles away). They get back from the honeymoon and go get her cats from her mom and dads. She kept the cats inside for a few days to get used to the new place. The first time she turned them outside, one of them disappears. A week later, the cats show up at her mom and dad's house. They gook him home again, the next time he disappeared, he showed up at the parent's house in just under 8 hours. They decided that cat needed to stay at the parents house.

Clever how you dress your perversion in mock interest in science/sci-fi!
