Miraculous moment Georgia man finds his missing cat while being interviewed for TV after all seven of his felines vanished during torrential flooding

Billy Paschall found one of his seven missing cats during a live television interview in McCaysville, Georgia, after severe flooding forced him from his home. The reunion offered a hopeful moment as residents began returning to areas hit by historic floods that damaged homes and disrupted communities.

About five feet of water entered Paschall’s home last Wednesday, and he escaped by police rescue boat with only his wallet, phone and keys. He later put a litter tray outside on advice from a meteorologist; he says the cats have gradually begun returning, including Bounce, the kitten that appeared during the interview. Paschall’s belongings were badly damaged and he is still seeking somewhere to live.
