Cat stuck in drainpipe rescued in Nakhon Ratchasima

[webfact]

A one year old cat was successfully rescued from a drainpipe where it had been stuck for several days. The incident took place in front of a chicken rice shop in the Phimai municipality, Nakhon Ratchasima province today.

 

The feline’s pitiful cries and forlorn gaze captured the attention of the disaster prevention and mitigation officials of the Phimai municipality, who rushed to assist.

 

The helpless feline had managed to get itself lodged in a drainpipe near the Phimai municipality’s roadside, unable to find its way out. Aided by a metal rod, the rescue team managed to pry open the drain cover and safely retrieve the cat from its predicament in about ten minutes.

 

The cat was found in a state of malnourishment, indicating that it had been trapped in the drainage system for some time, likely having entered through another point and struggled to find an exit until it ended up stuck at the reported location.

A great pussy save. (in North America, cats are commonly called pussy).

Must be Canada or Mexico. I've never heard a cat called that unless it was together with 'pussy cat'.  You're just full of it.

I think you need a hug. Pussy/pussy cat. Chev/Chevy/Chevrolet. Lots of words get abbreviated. Here's a digital dictionary definition for you: pus·sy [ˈpo͝osē] NOUN INFORMAL a cat. Now who's "just full of it", and sheltered to boot? Yes, I'm Canadian but have family long established, spread around USA. They and their friends often refer to their cats as pussy. Mexico, I have no idea.

 

You need to lighten up. If you're actually in Thailand, learn to relax, leave your wound up, mouth-off-to-people attitude behind.
