Cat Rescue!

[in_the_annex]

I just got all heroic and rescued the downstairs cat from impending hypothermia and severe break-my-heart cuteness.

It was stuck on the downstairs balconey, so I put on a slinky fireman's outfit, broke out the shiny new extendo-ladder(tm), climbed up there in harrowing -15 degree weather and scooped up its furry shivering ass.

Neighbors are nowhere

When I see you next, I shall pat you on the back! You did a good thing and the universe knows it. :)

I wonder how that kitten got out there on it's own? Have you decided on keeping the critter and a name yet or will you be trying to contact the neighbours? Personally, anyone that would leave a kitten out in that sort of cold, does not deserve to get that kitten back, imho!

I think letting the beast out in the cold was an oversight on their part, they probably didn't know it was stuck outside.

I spoke to my landlord (finally!) The cat's name is Emory(?), and the neighbors are at their new house, renovating.

Really really sweet critter, though. If it was truely homeless I would seriously think of keeping it.

Hope you're feeling better, N!

*pats your back*

:D

good job. and even if the neighbors don't thank you...the kitty is sure thankful...and that means a hell of alot

[in_the_annex]

Yes. It's now rubbing it's maw against everything in it's path...and sneezing. It was oh-so-happy when I plonked kitty food in front of it.

Altruism in Alan makes my heart grow fonder.:-)

That's an aphorism for the ages...

Yay!

Haven't seen you in far too long my friend. How's the new place?

[in_the_annex]

It's a nice space, but not just right. I have some issues with it, and have just spoken to my landlord about being put on a waiting list for other properties that he owns.

It's true...much too long. Hopefully we will see each other soon.

GOOD JOB!

They should hand out medals for that sort of act.

aww kitty.
When i lived in the bsmt apartment the lady who lived in the upper floors had a 6 toed cat she left outside year round and hed be so cold huddling on the only non-snowy part of the deck. i used to bring him into my apartment a lot and feed him or id leave food out if it was warmer weather.
poor mr.toes.

people who treat their cats like that should be forced to stay outside for hrs to see what its like. simply awful

Re: GOOD JOB!

Yeah, a gold paw badge of honor.

Such a sad kitty. He should of had six toed socks for the cold weather.

I think it was an accident that it happened. But yeah, I would be much more aware of whether the critter was in the apartment when I left for the day or weekend.

Kitty is on my lap purring contentedly. Awwwww....
