  • That’s a darling kitty.

    My dad was called out at work to assist in freeing a really loud cat that seemed to be caught up in the drainage gutter along a road in town. My dad worked for the city water utilities department - and this was back in the 80s. The event caused enough of a ruckus that a local news crew ended up on the scene. Anyhoo, they ended up pushing a large hose down the drain pipe to try and get the HOWLING cat to come out the other end where another grate was. This worked well enough as this tiny little white and black kitten came out of the opening. They couldn’t believe that huge noise came from such a tiny kitty. I remember watching the evening news that night while they interviewed my dad about the event while this little kitten climbed all over him. We ended up keeping him - with my brother winning the naming rights (Angus, but we all called him Gus). He was so full of earmites at first, and was obviously not fully weened, but that was the greatest cat we ever had. Good memories! Thank you for sharing this.
