Wild Bill and Miss Kitty

MSNBC.com has been following the story of Bill Harris, who credits his cat, Miss Kitty, with saving his life when his condo was flooded during Hurricane Katrina.

He stood on a chair for three days, clutching Miss Kitty, until rescuers came. Unfortunately, the rescuers wouldn't take Miss Kitty along.

But then a Slidell, La., animal control officer and a Noah's Wish volunteer went to the condo and were able to trap a cat they hoped was Miss Kitty.

It was.

Mr. Harris is hospitalized, but the folks who rescued Miss Kitty were able to bring her to the hospital for a reunion. Watch the video here .

In the midst of so much tragedy, it's wonderful to see a moment of pure happiness. Best wishes to Mr. Harris and his beautiful cat!

Oh my. I'm crying that is so wonderful.

This brought tears to my eyes. What a happy reunion they had. :)

What a beautiful reunion they had! So sweet!

Here's a direct link to the video, just in case it scrolls off the front page of MSNBC's "Katrina blog":

I can't help but think that he'll recover faster knowing that Miss Kitty is safe. She may end up saving his life twice!

What a wonderful reunion! You can really see the bond between Bill & Miss Kitty...praying they have many more happy years ahead with each other. :) I'm amazed at how calm Miss Kitty is despite all the rejoicing going on around her. :)

How wonderful to see some good news for a change. What could be better than to be reunited with your loving companion????

Thought I'd bump this up so more people can catch this story.

Oh wow, that was so beautiful!!! Miss Kitty was handled with such love and gentleness by her rescuers. There's no doubt that she's loved by her owner. Praying that this gentleman has a speedy recovery and with Miss Kitty securely in his arms they both will be able to start their new furever life TOGETHER!!!!!

What a heartwarming story. My gosh, you can really feel and see the love these two have for each other. I love the way Miss Kitty starts to knead as soon as you hold her. What a sweet gentle cat she is.

I pray that Mr. Harris has a speedy recovery.

I had to wait until today to watch the video. What a heartwarming story:) I hope so much that in the coming weeks there will be many stories of families and pets re-united.

Noah's Wish is a wonderful organization and they do such good work.

I'm so happy that Miss Kitty is going to be OK. A very heartwarming story. Thanks for sharing.
