Cat Lost 2 Years Returned Via Facebook

WCCO's Darcy Pohland reports on a happy reunion between a Minnesota couple and their cat that was missing two years.

Bob the cat slipped out of the East Bethel, Minn. home of Shane and Nicole Meide. The family gave up hope of ever seeing Bob again. Then, just a short time ago, they were reunited by a Facebook connection.

"We got him after we got back from our honeymoon," said Bob's owner Shane Meide.

So they were heart-broken when Bob escaped and ran away months later.

Here's the story about how they got him back, and video:
