Woman buys used couch

Recommended Posts

SPOKANE, Wash. – The mysterious mewing in Vickie Mendenhall's home started about the time she bought a used couch for $27. After days of searching for the source of the noise, she found a very hungry calico cat living in her sofa.

 

Her boyfriend, Chris Lund, was watching TV on Tuesday night and felt something move inside the couch. He pulled it away from the wall, lifted it up and there was the cat, which apparently crawled through a small hole on the underside.

 

Mendenhall contacted Value Village, where she bought the couch, but the store had no information on who donated it. So she took the cat to SpokAnimal CARE, the animal shelter where she works, so it could recover, and contacted media outlets in hopes of finding the owner.

 

Sure enough, Bob Killion of Spokane showed up to claim the cat on Thursday after an acquaintance alerted him to a TV story about it. Killion had donated a couch on Feb. 19, and his 9-year-old cat, Callie, disappeared at about the same time.

 

Aww poor kitty. Glad she's back with her owner.

Saw the picture on the internet - very cute 9 year old cat.

 

Cats can squeeze in small spots. A friend couldn't find a cat that she was sure was in the new apartment after a move. It was hiding inside a tightly rolled up large rug! Tricky, cute, easily spooked critters.

Dunno about tight, but the cat my family once had-what a sweetheart-I learned why firfighters always have to climb trees...but I tried a waterhose! Hey, I was desperate...and she forgave me. THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT WHEN THEY WANT,HOW THEY WANT. It's really their world-we just live in it. Imagine what Cait is like.... ;)
