SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- For $27 a Washington state woman got a used couch and a mystery -- a strange mewing sound coming from inside the sofa.After days of searching for the source, Vickie Mendenhall's boyfriend discovered a very hungry calico cat living inside the couch Tuesday night. It had been there for nearly three weeks, apparently crawling in through a small hole on the underside.
The Spokesman-Review in Spokane reports Mendenhall took the cat to the animal shelter where she works, so it could recover.
She also contacted Value Village, where she bought the couch, but the store had no information on who donated it.
Next, she contacted media outlets in hopes of finding the owner. That tactic worked -- an acquaintance alerted Bob Killion of a TV story about the cat, and he was able to reclaim Callie.
So clearly that is the worst possible scenario ever to come out of furniture shopping. Cats are horrible. They don't like people. Why hasn't anybody figured that out yet? I will never understand why people continue to get cats as pets even though its clear the feline-devils have no interest in loving you. They take advantage of that kitty-kibble though don't they? Oh yeah, no complaints when it comes to free food, but you want them to hang out with you for a little while... I don't know, show a little GRATITUDE for the life you've given them and nooooo... they can't be bothered! And then one of them (probably the one without the tail) will start rubbing up against your leg and you'll have to hide in the bathroom until the parents of those brat-kids you were babysitting FINALLY come home.
Not that I've ever experienced something like that.
