Cat Frozen To Fence Saved By Woman, Grandkids
http://www.nbc4.tv/irresistible/4088731/detail.html
Cat Frozen To Fence Saved By Woman, Grandkids POSTED: 8:24 am PST January 17, 2005 FORT WORTH, Texas -- Here is proof that cats really have nine lives. One cold morning while in the backyard of a Nebraska homeowner Ruth Bogenreif, a cat was taking a drink out of a heated bird bath. Something apparently startled the cat and she jumped, wet paws and all, onto a chain link fence. (Images: Frozen Cat Has Nine Lives) In freezing temperatures, the cats small feet froze instantly to the metal. "He was hanging with his paws froze to the fence. His head, the back of his neck, was in the water," said Bogenreif. Using warm water, Bogenreif and her grandchildren freed the cat from the metal and then turned it over to the local shelter. "She's not walking well on her right leg, we're assuming muscle paralysis at this point. Hopefully she'll be getting better as the swelling goes down," said Pam Wiese with the Humane Society.

Poor kitty =/
This has to fall in the category of "news of the weird," too.

Poor little kitty!
Or I hope I can say, LUCKY little kitty. First of all, there were some humans on hand to help her out of her predicament. Second, this story is sure to prompt calls to the shelter from people asking to adopt the cat. Or, if she was a lost cat, I hope they'll get a call from the cat's owners who've seen her on the news and want to reclaim her from the shelter. I also hope that anyone who calls the shelter, in the hopes of adopting this cat, decides to adopt another one instead if they aren't able to adopt the cat from the news story. If that happens, EVERYBODY wins. Donna, with cat shelters on the brain as the process moves forward for my adoption of two kitties from the local animal refuge |
