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.

Wow! Considering that 18 years is the upper limit of an average cat's lifespan, this poor kitty appears to have been incredibly lucky surviving to such a ripe old age -- after nearly a decade all on her own in a big city, no worse for the hazards than being a tad emaciated. Hooray for the concerned resident who reported spotting her.

"RSPCA Animal Collection Officer Alan Pittaway checked her microchip and confirmed it was Dixie."

I had to check that, because at first I thought maybe it was just a cat that looked like theirs. 9 years???!

I hope her remaining years are happy ones.
