Kitten Saved From Sewer System!

phpjBCO18PM.jpg A little kitten hailing from the Bronx found itself in the city's sewer system recently. According to the Daily News, 21-year-old Edita Pjetrovic couldn't find her kitten named Motz, and says he likely slipped out the door during a barbecue she was having on Sunday. During her search, a friend at a local pizza shop told her a cat was heard meowing near Morris Park Avenue and White Plains Road—the noise was coming from under a sewer grate. The Department of Environmental Protection to the rescue! Workers helped locate and rescue the cat on Wednesday using video cameras, and Pjetrovic told the paper, "They really helped. They were really kind." Last summer a New Jersey kitten was rescued from the sewers—maybe they're trying to become the sewer gators.

    Some people shouldn't have cats.

    Some people should stay away from computers as well...

    You're one sick puppy. The cat slips out of the house and the girl goes looking for it so you think she doesn't deserve to have a cat.

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    She is irresponsible. She should have secure him before she had that party. Put him in another room and also keep the toilet lid closed. it isn't rocket science just simple consideration.

    From what I remember, you allow your cat to do as it pleases because it's not a possession, right? Does that include letting it go outside whenever it wants? Does that include letting it hunt prey? Does that include leaving its breeding parts alone so it can satisfy that most primal of urges... procreation? When you've figured out just how much of a complete and total hyprocrite you are, mark it on your calendar. You'll want to know the exact date of that epiphany once you're older and seeing a therapist.

    allllways the human's fault, huh? by your account, there is nothing that could have been done to deter a determined kitten from escaping. YOU dont think much.

  • youngpro

    that's the thing with him, though: it's ALWAYS a human's fault. even if this girl had rescued this kitten from a shelter, it would STILL be her fault for not locking the door or not securing the window or not (insert any excuse here).

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    you don't know if he/she was adopted from a shelter. You really don't think, do you?

  • youngpro

    asshole, it was HYPOTHETICAL. Hence the use of the phrase 'COULD HAVE.'

    Good story and awesome pic. I wonder if that kitty knows Mr. Hanky.

  • RoboticInsides
