Sunshine the 19 year old cat returns home after 16 years!

0:03 Caalarokas shock media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Good news for a brown bear. The brown bear Bokey is said to be the first brown bear to undergo brain surgery. Bochy the Bear underwent brain surgery for fluid in the brain back in October, just before going into hibernation for the winter. Vets said at the time they wouldn't be sure if the surgery worked or not until the spring well spring is here. Now boke woke up seems to have made a full recovery. A zookeeper posted to social media and told us what a remarkable transformation we have seen in this young bear. He's active, he's playful, he's exactly the same bear that he started last year out as so a real achievement in terms of the operation's success so far. It's like he's forgotten that he's had the operation. I don't think anyone's told him, and he's charging around being the young, lovable bear that everybody knows and loves. And it's fantastic to see. Congratulations of bok the Bear and to the bear surgeons and the medical team the zoo keepers. Meanwhile, at the New Zoo, in Adventure Park in Green Bay.

1:04 They captured one of the two escaped otters. The otters had escaped during a snowstorm. They got a lot of snow. On March twentieth, Ophelia and Louis escaped. A local trap company has captured Ophelia. On social media, the zoo is said a full veterinary exam revealed that she's in perfect health. She's been returned to the regular otter habitat, but may not always be visible to guests. You see, Ophelia is a little shy and enjoys tucking to things to take naps throughout the day. So do I, boy, you put me in the comfy chair in front of the TV on the weekends before I get it. One hundred percent chance I nap. The zoo tells us this is otter breeding season. We expect that as a male otter, Louis is likely ranging a bit further from home than Ophelia did.

1:48 That's code. I know what you're saying there, Zoo, but it's still likely that he's not all that far away. In Kentucky, a woman received mail from her lifelong friend on her birthday. She opened it, it was the same birthday card. The women have been sending to one another for eighty one years. Happy Birthday, Pat, who turned ninety five. The tradition began on Pat's fourteenth birthday in Indianapolis, when her friend Mary gave her a birthday card. Pat told the local TV. We never said we're gonna do this, at least I don't remember ever saying that. It just happened. They earned one of those Guinness records in their sixtieth year for the longest Greetings card exchanged. She says, I think my children came up with the idea that this card had been going back and forth for so many years. She explained, she plans to keep the tradition going by sending Mary the card in May. It's unclear to me how old Mary is. Happy birthday, everybody. Speaking of those Guinness records, a group of Georgia men broke the record for playing a continuous basketball game one hundred and twenty one hours, three minutes. The men represented the organization Men Opposing Sex Trafficking. They completed their game at ten am on a Friday. Twenty three players played ages seventeen to sixty four. The men were required to remain inside the gym for the duration of the attempt, even while taking breaks.

3:00 Final score thirteen thousand, ninety six to twelve thousand, nine hundred and seventy two. On this program, I tend to do a fair amount of lost pet returns home stories. I could probably if I were like extra lazy about this show, I could fill two of the five spots with lost pet returns and Guinness World Record something. I do try to mix it up, but this one will be very tough to top in terms of longevity unless somebody's got a pet elephant or turtle or something. A man and his Bengal cat were reunited after sixteen years. Sunshine, the Bengal cat, disappeared from Carl's garden in two thousand and nine. Sunshine was three years old. Then Carl assumed the cat was stolen because the breed can be sold for many hundreds of dollars in England. The cat was never recovered, he explained, I always figured she'd be stolen.

3:51 I put up posters pel to find her. She was microchip. It's a good thing I never changed my phone number in all these years. He got a call from a vet saying the cat had been handed in as a stray and was asked if you own a cat named Sunshine. Sunshine the cat is now nineteen, Carl says, I don't think she's been a stray all this time, maybe just the last few months. When I picked up with the vet, she was underweight, her claws hadn't been clipped, and she had bad kidneys. Since she's been home, Sunshine has some medication to perk up a little bit. She's looking a bit better. I was so surprised. I was overwhelmed, really, as I didn't expect to see her again, especially after all this time. She's nineteen and a half years old, which is ninety two in cat Ears. She might not be with us for very long, but at least she gets a nice retirement. Good luck to you. I hope she gets a nice long retirement. And what a nice story there. Those are five good news stories for today.

4:35 You have an awesome day.
