Info from Licensor: "Lilly, 8 years old, ran out of the house a week after moving into a new home and was missing for almost a full week. Our Family of 5 kids 2 adults looked everywhere for her and thought she was gone forever. Almost a week later, one night around 10pm during a normal crazy chaotic night after dinner, we were surprised by a Ring doorbell camera notification. When Lilly’s face popped up on our tv screen and all Alexa show devices, she had rang the door bell camera and meowed “mom” (the third meow) demanding to come in. Our whole family’s was shocked, surprised and emotional to see Lilly’s return and it was also hilarious to see how she decided to greet us after a long week of lost hope. Lilly is smart. She looks towards the door every time the notification “someone is at your front door” goes off. I don’t know what she went through in that week of being gone, but Lilly has not gone back outside since and looked petrified the night she came home, which is not in Lilly’s nature as she has always been an indoor outdoor cat and was the boss running the block at our old home for the last 4.5 years. We couldn’t be more grateful to have her back home with us."
