This is the most stunning survival story I have ever heard: A cat that survived the collapse of a house and then 35 days without water or food under rubble!
Story here. :eek:

Erm, but it is. :eek: Nine lives 'n all that. Tell me you're being ironic...Image

Screw the priceless documents, at least Schröd[ing]er's cat is safe :lol:

Tabby cats have well-developed survival instincts. Fat marmalade cats have difficulty surviving past the first few hours without food, while black cats wouldn't be silly enough to find themselves in that position in the first place. White cats would be found sitting on top of the rubble, delicately washing a paw, having been responsible for the whole thing.

Yes, that. And I forgot a comma after the "why" as well. which was even more Ironic as well. Thanks for helping me to avoid having to adnit I was simply stone dumb. I shall not write in three IM windows while posting again. :oops: :lol:

@EB: Well spotted! :lol: :notworthy:
