30. SO TRUE!!

Back in probably January of 1993 when I first got out of the US Air Force I went to work for one of the companies within Local 85 Sheet Metal Union in Atlanta...We were working on the massive expansion of Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. We were putting in air duct & huge air handlers way underground & within the new tram canals they had poured. It was a cold muddy miserable job but at least we were out of the wind. Anyway, I was dressed in several layers of clothes which was a very good thing! As I said we were probably 30-50ft underground working in this huge area that was all concrete (I think it was where they serviced the trams or the trams & maybe turn around, not sure. It massive undreground facility that had a mezzolene where we had to install several really big air handlers. They were delivered one afternoon & I did not start prep work on them until the next morning. When I open one up there was a black & white kitten in there looking at me & meowed. He could not have been more than 3-4 months old & it was clear this little guy had not eaten in a while he was very thin. Plus, there literally no way he was going to survive if I left him down there. So, I shut the door went & found a nice size cardboard box he could stay in until I got off work & could get him to a vet & to my Mom's house. As soon as I went to pick him up he gave no warning nothing he just bit me through my leather work gloves & then climbed straight up my arm & over my should & jumped jumped off me & ran to the back of the unit! I was totally shocked that was the last thing I expected! I eventually got him in the box & now I was anxious about getting him to the vet because when I took my glove off I was bleeding where he bit me! I totally learned a very valuable lesson that day! LOL!

I gave him to my Mom who lived by herself & she was the only person that cat would go near.

37. Great story

We've never domesticated them; they've domesticated us.

2. In contrast

If that were any of my cats, they would stay put and wonder why you failed to bring food.

5. Yes, a can of Fussie Cat

[lastlib]

21. ...a *BLUE* can.....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Kitty parkour - pretty impressive.

One of the many reasons I do like cats - they're full of surprises.

[progressoid]

17. +1

[silverweb]

28. Indeed!

One of the many reasons I love them, too.

[packman]

8. Best laugh of the day/week

Just goes to show they really don't need humans

[IronLionZion]

9. Some cats just need a bit of motivation

humans help cats who help themselves

or something

Cat parkour is pretty awesome to watch

[JHan]

10. Hahahahahahaha!

[Wounded Bear]

11. My sister's cat got "stuck" in a tree once or twice...

It was a big evergreen, maybe a fir or cedar, and the cat was at least 40 feet up.

She told me she asked a vet about that once, and the response was, "If cats truly couldn't get down out of trees, there would be little rings of cat skeletons around every tree in town."

First time, sis had me drive down and rent a tall ladder (I owned the truck at the time). The second time, the cat showed up on its own.

12. SUPER KITTY!!

Need a little red cape.

[Ztolkins]

13. I dunno...looks fake

I've come to doubt every awesome thing I see of the interwebs though

[fleur-de-lisa]

16. I don't doubt that the cat climbed out on its own . . .

After trapping a feral cat in a raccoon cage several years ago, I put him in one of my bathrooms until I could take him to the vet the next day.

While trying to get him into a pet carrier, he did the exact same thing, climbing up the drywall like it was a tree. After about 20 minutes of trying to gently coerce him into the carrier with a broom, he finally went in on his own. After he knocked every picture down and scratched up the drywall.

[NastyRiffraff]

14. Was that laughter coming from the cat?

I wouldn't be surprised!

[fleur-de-lisa]

15. Poor kitteh finally found a nice quiet hole to nap in . . .

and silly hooman interrupted him!

Everybody knows ninja cat can climb walls!

[Bruce Fallsteen]

18. Excuse Me?

Both my wife and I love cats! We are currently serving a big Orange Tabby, in fact. Best boss we're ever had!

[Honeycombe8]

20. Too funny! (Not everyone dislikes cats! I like cats.) nt

[Moral Compass]

22. Now THAT is funny!

[Hamlette]

23. it's interesting how s/he climbs out

could go straight up on the dirt walls (makes sense, I've been on the wrong end of a few cat claws) but when s/he gets to the brick has to run around.

Bet that cat had done it a ton of times before. Might be its happy place. If cats can ever be happy.

[silverweb]

25. LOL

The rescuers are taking it in good stride, must have some understanding of felines. They'll be laughing over this story for a while!

I had a cat, one of several at the time, who could not be confined in my little "kitty-safe" yard, which was fully enclosed with smooth, 8'-tall fiberglass panels. We couldn't figure out how he was escaping until my son called me one afternoon to witness him climbing the stucco on the house - the only area that wasn't fiberglassed over - to the roof and then off adventuring. None of the 6 others ever even tried that, but Izzy had been escaping every afternoon or evening until I caught on and paneled that area, too.

[niyad]

27. actually, many of us LOVE our kittehs!!

[silverweb]

32. Yes, we do!

[GoCubsGo]

29. Well, nobody, except for the hunky guy who tried to resuce the kitten.

Not sure if that guy was brave or not too bright, going down there with no shirt on (or some sort of bag/kitty carrier.) Unless he was hoping to get shredded.

[yuiyoshida]

33. I love my cat,

Though he is getting old now, but still hangs out in whatever room I'm in.

[Leith]

34. Funny!

The kitteh just needed a little fear to help him or her to do it. Without the immediate danger, it would have been too difficult.

The men had a good laugh about it. It all worked out in the end.

[grantcart]

35. My cat would only approve the following comment: We approve of the video but not the biased framing

[Maraya1969]

36. The little shit waited until he got his feet on the ground!

[Skittles]

38. *SWOON*

[raven mad]

Everything they do
