    Deck The Cat, Because Of Your Folly??

    FA LA LA LAAAAAA LA LA LA LA?????


    Cat 'trapped under decking for eight weeks'

    A cat has amazed vets by surviving for eight weeks after its owner's neighbours built garden decking on top of it.

    Neighbours John and Anne McMillan only found out what they had done to Bubbles when they heard faint mewing coming from under their decking.

    Bubbles' owner, seven-year-old Emma Dearie, had been looking for her cat for two months and had even walked to a farm four miles away to ask after it.

    Emma's mum Sara said vets think Bubbles, who had to be prised out from under the decking by a joiner, survived by drinking rainwater and eating insects.

    The cat had to be washed four times and is now being fed six time a day to fatten her up, says the Daily Record.

    Sara, of Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire, said: "It does seem a bit daft that no on heard her for all that time.

    "But my neighbour is pretty deaf and her husband is always shouting so she can hear him, so that's why they didn't hear Bubbles."

    Hoe did they even manage to close the cat in in the first place? When we built a deck on my parent's yard, it was pretty obvious what was under it as we laid new boards down.
