When Ravila Hairova and Lev Kondratyev moved from Uzbekistan to Russia two years ago， they decided to leave their cat Karim in the care of their neighbor， concerned that he would not adjust well to the drastic change. Recently， however， on her way back from work Ravila saw at a distance a cat who seemed to be waiting at the doorstep of her Liska， Russia home. To her astonishment， she saw that it was ９-year-old Karim， thin and frazzled but recognizable especially by certain marks on his body.
Hairova had made sure to leave the cat's favorites items behind for him, including his favorite chair and food bowls. But a few days after she arrived at her new home and called her neighbors to see how he was doing, she was told he had run away. At that point she assumed she would never see him again.
"I knew he had disappeared from my neighbours' home a few days after we left which was very sad but we never heard another word about him," she told the news provider.
Karim travelled from Uzbekistan to Russia, crossing three state borders, and found his owners once again. He looked frail and malnourished, but was in good spirits.
"He is very happy now and so are we. I've no idea how he found us but I'm very glad he did," she said to the news source.
