Chi Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Woman buys used couch and finds cat living inside Fri Mar 13, 7:27 am ETSPOKANE, 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. Quote
emkay64 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I had an old, orange tomcat, that ripped the interfacing off the bottom of the couch so he could climb inside and sleep there...a cat hammock of sorts...kinda funny the cat never came out when it was being moved lol. Quote
Chi Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 kinda funny the cat never came out when it was being moved lol. It must've gotten stuck in there. I'm surprised that the owner didn't put two and two together since his cat went missing around the same time he donated the couch. Quote
