Ace - Found His Way Home



Ace - Found His Way Home


When I was a little girl, we had a black cat named Ace.  Ace would sometimes sneak into the house and steal a fish or some other kind of food off of our counter.   Then we would all react by chasing him out the front door. 

One day for some reason,  I do not remember, we had to move to our other Grandmas house and for some reason, our family left Ace behind.  Maybe we couldn't find Ace when the time came to leave or maybe he just wasn't ready, anyway, I can remember that we cried because we thought we would never see Ace again.  Grandma and Grandpa's house was around a 25 minutes drive away from our other Grandma's house, but when you are little that seems like a long time.

My Grandma and Grandpa lived on a hill with winding roads that took quite a while to walk up.  I can remember a few times we kids walked up the hill and it became very tiring.  I remember my legs hurting for days from the sore muscles. 

One day, while we were playing outside a very surprising thing happened.  We looked up to see Ace walking into the driveway of my Grandma's house and we exclaimed, " Look! It's Ace! " and all of us kids ran to pet Ace and love on him.  Ace had never been at our Grandmas home before, but somehow that cat had walked what was a 25-minute drive to a house that he had never seen before just to find us. I've often
en wondered why a cat would go to all that trouble just to find us.  I've always heard that a dog has feelings and that a dog would search for His owners, but cats usually don't work that way, but Ace just plain loved us and that was that.  Then Ace made up his mind and he somehow did what was seemingly impossible for a cat to do.  He came home.  Because home was us.
