FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) --- Tiger, a seven-year-old house cat, curls up on the lap of owners Tim and Angela Caesar.
But two Sundays ago, he went missing after leaving the backyard. The Ceasars say they immediately started searching.
They posted fliers, contacted neighbors and veterinarian offices and started to update information for Tiger's implanted microchip. They also called the Fairfax County Animal Shelter.
"Frantic! Worried! [I'm thinking] ... does he have any food. He's not eating. It was rainy that day too," says Angela.
They got no response. The owners thought the worst of their cat, who lives with four other felines in the house.
Three days later, Duane and Holly Hartge, neighbors who live two doors away, called saying they'd found Tiger.
