Losing all hope, Paul took to Facebook to announce that Percy was missing. Many people offered to help him search for his missing cat. Unfortunately, Paul couldn't afford to wait for his return.

"I'm a commercial truck driver … and I've signed on a dotted line saying I will have it delivered by such and such a time. I don't have the choice to stay if I want to," he said.

Paul drove away with a heavy heart, feeling like he had abandoned his child. He had made two deliveries and driven 400 miles when a miracle happened.

He turned around, and there he saw an oil-covered stray cat coming out from under his truck – it was Percy!

The cat looked hungry and tired, but he was okay. After that incident, Paul made sure to keep a close eye on him. Now, the duo has been together for three years, and the bond they have is stronger than ever.

"The other day I caught myself laughing at one of his antics and I thought: ‘It's nice to live alone sometimes 'cause you can have everything your own way – but I wouldn't be laughing like this if I were alone.' Percy is good for my spirit and soul," Paul said.

What a lovely friendship! We're so glad that Paul and Percy found their way into each other's lives. Indeed, having a partner makes everything better.
