BREAKING: Molly the Cat Alive!

2006_4_catfree1.jpg

NBC4 is reporting that Molly the cat escaped through a hole in the wall or ceiling of the building. They are displaying pictures of her looking reasonably healthy-- the crowd is going crazy. Kevin Clifford, a tunnel worker, pulled the cat through the hole-- apparently her tail and legs were trapped in the gutter space between the two buildings. Rock on!

UPDATE: Main-stream media is all over the story!
NYT: The Fraidy-Cat of Hudson Street Is Yanked to Safety
NYP: PURR-FECT END
NYDN: Ending is cat's meow

UPDATE: Pat Kwan of the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC Animals sent in these pix, and reminds everyone that "Deep in our hearts, we think Molly may simply be conducting a publicity stunt to send a message to New Yorkers and beyond that with “Kitten Season” blooming, now is a great time to adopt some of her feline brothers and sisters who are in animal shelters and in need of a loving home."

I saw molly on TV but she is black so I only saw blackness but i'm happy she is out and free; even though the stupid people are keeping her in a cage for live tv and flash bulbs are going off all over the place there -- they should have wisked (sp) her away to a quiet place and gave her some cat food action.

I can just imagine a woman in a dark alley recovering from a brutal gang rape and she comes out of the alley hurting and in anguish pleading out for help and some old lady goes "Did you hear? They found MOLLY THE CAT! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Tell everyone!"

Why didn't Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman, friend of animals, help his buddy Peter out by serending Molly out of her hole?
