Cat reunited with owners 16 years after running away

Ritz the cat ran away 16 years ago, and his owners never really gave up hope for his return. A few weeks ago, a woman who had been feeding a stray cat brought it into the vet with a bad injury. It was about to be put down, but a microchip saved its life. Steve Hartman shares more in "On the Road."

disappeared on the day they delivered phone books in Southlake, TX in 1991. We moved to Arkansas about 6 months later and I kept hoping Callie would somehow find us. I waited there for 30 years, but she never made it.

Great story. Ritz should go in the record books.
