Woman Saves Frozen Cat
One cold morning, while in the back yard of Nebraska homeowner Ruth Bogenreif, a cat took a drink out of a heated bird bath.
Something apparently startled the cat and she jumped, wet paws and all, onto a chain-link fence.
In freezing temperatures, the cat's small feet froze instantly to the metal.
"(She) was hanging with (her) paws froze to the fence. (Her) head, the back of (her) neck, was in the water," Bogenreif said.
Using warm water, Bogenreif and her grandchildren freed the cat from the metal and turned her over to the local shelter.
"She's not walking well on her right leg, we're assuming muscle paralysis at this point," said Pam Wiese with the Humane Society. "Hopefully she'll be getting better as the swelling goes down."
The cat is recovering at the shelter. :eek: :eek: :(
