Cat Thrown Off Bridge With 16-Pound Rock Rescued
Firefighter Takes Cat Home To Daughter
POSTED: 7:13 am EST December 29, 2005

MISSOULA, Montana -- There has been a happy ending on what started as a case
of animal cruelty.

Passers-by spotted the calico house cat Tuesday morning while crossing a
footbridge by Montana's icy Clark Fork River. They called for help, and
Missoula firefighters responded. Firefighters lowered a boat onto the ice,
and retrieved the soaking-wet cat.
Someone had put the animal in a cage, along with a rock weighing about 16
pounds, and tossed it over the bridge. But instead of landing in the water,
the caged cat landed on the ice and bounced several times, coming to a stop
in an icy puddle of slush.

It's unclear how long the cat had been there.

Despite its ordeal, one of the cat's rescuers said she was really friendly,
and dined on leftover Christmas turkey at the firehouse.

One of the firefighters then took the vet-checked cat home to his daughter.
They named their new pet "Lucky."

Why wait for karma? There are laws against cruelty, and
most of them carry teeth (not as severe as if one does the
same to a human, but fairly stiff fines and even jail time).

Um, because they have no way of knowing who did this to the cat?

I meant because they probably can't find out who it was. Of course I would
want them arrested if they could.

Heh. Since you bring up teeth: I hope the sick f*ck is torn apart,
slowly, by several hungry tigers.

I am so happy the cat is OK.

This happened where I live...in Missoula. Lucky is doing amazingly
well. The fireman has 2 black labs and by the next morning she was
curled up with them asleep...very friendly, easy going kitty.

Everyone here is angry about this. Rewards have been offered.
Hopefully someone will remember a neighbor...an aquaintence...with a
calico cat like her. I personally would like to see this person
physically punished and reviled before he gets landed with his karmic
retribution.
