Precious Kitten Treasure Trapped Behind Wall Rescued By Firefighters

Kittens love to make trouble. It’s kind of their thing. Well, that and being adorable!

But, seriously, kittens know how to find mischief and one ginger kitten in Australia found trouble so deep the fire department had to get involved!

At a Bankstown home in Sydney, Australia, a normal day to turned into a bit of a catastrophe when the homeowners heard the high-pitched meows of a kitten inside the house.

But the family didn’t have a kitten, so the sudden appearance of the voice was certainly a surprise. After a search of the home, they realized the kitten was stuck behind a wall, crying to get free.

Desperate to help the tabby baby, the homeowners called Fire and Rescue NSW for what firefighters described as “an un-fur-gettable rescue”.

Behind Door Number One…A Kitten!

When firefighters arrived at the home, they used thermal imaging technology to locate the kitten’s whereabouts behind the wall. Once they found the kitten, “firefighters devised a purr-fect plan to rescue the trapped kitten by cutting through the gyprock to make a small hole.”

With the kitten right on the other side of the wall, the fireman worked very carefully to cut a small rectangle into the drywall. As he pulled the cut section free, the fireman joked, “What’s behind door number one?”

The cutest little tabby kitten face, drywall dusting his tiny nose, popped from the opening. The fireman greeted him with a friendly hello and the rest of the room melted into a chorus of “aww” as they caught their first glimpse of the baby.

But kittens can be easily frightened and as big hands reached for him, the shy boy ducked back into the wall. “The crews weren’t kitten around and with a little coaxing, the rest is hiss-tory.”

They soon had the cute kitten out of the wall and safe in their arms. As he was plucked from the wall, the tiny orange kitty meowed his thanks. The rescue took only twenty minutes and the kitten came through his ordeal unharmed.

In Love with Their Little Intruder

Little did the kitten know when he somehow wandered into the wall, he was squirming into his forever home. In a moment of love at first sight, the homeowners were smitten with the kitten and decided to adopt him.

Fire and Rescue NSW Bankstown shared, “Everyone is now the best of fur-ends with the happy ending to this tail.”

Can Dogs Have Breath Mints?

Bad breath can lead to embarrassing situations and breath mints are used to prevent this from happening. The problem of bad breath is extremely common among dogs but can they have breath mints? The answer to this question is a YES only if the mints have been made specifically for dogs. You can find a lot of dog breath mints in the market. Generally, artificial forms of mint use Xylitol (an artificial sweetener) that is toxic for dogs. Due to this reason, it is highly recommended to avoid all kinds of mint products that may contain this ingredient. Basically, it causes a sudden release of insulin in the body that leads to hypoglycemia. According to VCA Hospitals , even the smallest quantities of Xylitol can cause seizures, liver failure, or even death. Help! My Dog Ate a Mint If your dog has eaten a mint leaf, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if he/she has ingested a breath mint with Xylitol in it, you need to move quickly. Despite the fact that xyl...

The answer is complicated when it comes to sharing tea with cats, but one thing’s for sure: coffee and felines should never mix. Chock full of caffeine and other stimulants, cats should never drink coffee as caffeine is toxic to cats . This includes decaffeinated coffee since the beans also contain theobromine , another stimulant that can sicken felines. In protecting your cat from caffeine, don’t let her drink caffeinated sodas or energy drinks either. Also look out for guarana, mate, and cacao when checking food labels. All three are natural sources of caffeine. Also, according to the Pet Poison Helpline, caffeine may go by the alternate names   methylxanthine and xanthine .

Fall — i t’s here and beautiful as ever. The foliage is starting to change, the air is getting crisper, days are becoming shorter, and the festive feelings of Halloween and Thanksgiving are in the air. But, along with the beauty of the season come some potential fall hazards that all pet parents should be aware of.  1. Rodenticides As the days are getting shorter and cooler, mother nature’s little outdoor critters will begin looking for some temporary fall and winter housing to call home. Mice and rats are notorious for trying to get inside garages, basements, attics, and sheds as they search for a cozy place to call home. To avoid unwanted little tenants, many households put out rodent poisons. If you use these poisons anywhere in your home, make sure to keep them hidden and far out of the reach of your canine kids. These chemical formulas are toxic and potentially deadly for your pooch. 2. Mushroom Poisoning Mushrooms have a habit of popping up around this time of the year...
