A veteran and the cat he looked after in Iraq had the purr-fect reunion at Los Angeles International Airport.
Navy reservist Brad VanCleave crossed paths with the feline, known as Mr. Meowgi, at the Baghdad International Airport, where VanCleave was a government contractor, CBS Los Angeles reported.
VanCleave told the TV station: 'In July of 2015 I saw a baby kitten and he stuck his head out from one of the shipping containers. And we started feeding it and his mom.'
He said of the furry companion: 'It's kind of a neat little feeling to know that you're arriving at your work site and you're greeting by this meowing little baby, and he's chasing after you.'
VanCleave was set to leave Iraq, explaining: 'I knew if I left him there and didn't bring him back the chances of him being alive when I got back were pretty slim.'
