Cat Jumps Off Hot Tin Roof

Posted by Froz Gobo

More Apostrophic weirdness from the wacky world of recycling:

Recently, The ReUse People deconstructed a large Victorian home in downtown Oakland, Calfornia. When the final wall, the north-side wall in this case, was removed the cat, pictured here, was exposed.

All of us were amazed at how well preserved this guy was. He appeared to be mummified. I say mummified because his skin, fur and claws were still perfectly intact...
How he got there is pure speculation, but a good guess is that one night he was doing what cats do - catting around, and fell between the two buildings. Two large nails protruding from the concrete wall were the only things that stopped his free-fall, and probable escape to freedom. However, with nine lives used up in younger and wilder times, his tenth was not to be.

Meow.

Hey- if you like recycling buildings check out www.cabinscottagesandbungalows for a local crew (or drop by the 300 block of Okeneechee St in Hillsboro to see their latest project).

Tell Joel and Stephanie Sterling said hello...

Hurray! A CC&B fan! Chris and Steve are really forging some inroads around here. I love their business concept.
