Rescuers spend 12 hours trying to save pregnant cat from locked bin… only to discover it was a TOY
Great story this about a case of mistaken cat identity – not really rural but fun anyway. It explains how villagers in Anglesey thought a local cat had got stuck in a recycling bin…
Villagers set off to find food to put inside the bin for the cat. With concerns for the pregnant cat growing the bin was transported 18 miles to specialist engineering firm K Owen in Llanrhyddlad. Engineers used a steel saw to cut their way into the bin – nearly 24 hours after the drama started. Owner Kelvin Owen said: ‘Once we got into the bin we heard the meow again, it sounded just like a cat and we all started to carefully search the bags.
‘Then I found a bag of toys and picked out a toy cat. ‘I said: ‘It couldn’t be this could it?’ It wasn’t making any noise and I asked if I could cut it open to investigate. As I held it, it went off, meow, meow, mystery solved!
