Wild (and Sometimes Crazy) Wednesday – Cats Can Survive the Darndest Things

Did you read about the amazing cat, Binx, who survived the collapse of the Surfside building? There he was, probably sleeping peacefully in his apartment with his family on the 9th floor, when all heck broke loose and he found himself tumbling through concrete, wood, glass, furniture, and knick knacks and landing somewhere amidst it all. Miraculously he made his way out of the rubble, was recognized by someone who feeds cats in the area and reunited with family members. Amazing!

There’s also the story of a cat in Holland who was left in an abandoned house for two months and survived. When the new owners stepped inside, they found the cat thin and weak, but alive. It appears that he survived on pieces of paper he found in the home and water from a small leak in the plumbing. Amazing.

Covid-19 patients in a hospital in Russia reported hearing something strange in their rooms—or were they hallucinating? Nope. An investigation led to the discovery of a kitten trapped inside a maze of pipes in the wall.

Over 200 cats, dogs, rabbits, etc. were transported out of the state after Hurricane Ida and are now safe. Over one hundred of them were taken in by the SPCA in Cincinnati and the remaining animals were flown to Georgetown, DE, where they’re waiting to be adopted. The shameful part of this is that there were so many unwanted pets that needed to be evacuated. Please people, spay/neuter your animals!

You may recall the miracle cat named Bart, who was injured so seriously in a car accident that his owners thought he was dead, so they buried him. Five days later, he dug himself out of the grave and, after a custody battle, went to live with a shelter volunteer who had helped bring him to health. Six years later, Bart is doing just fine. Here’s his story:
