Was this a prison breakout?

No, the wall was in Myers of Keswick, a British deli in lower Manhattan where Molly worked. The deli is now as famous as Rupert G's Hello Deli near the Ed Sulliivan Theatre.

The deli sells British delicacies like clotted cream.

No, a trapped cat.

Yup. Molly worked at the deli as a mouser and must have been chasing a mouse two weeks ago into a hole in the wall and then never came back out until yesterday afternoon. There has been a 24/7 rescue operation going on for over a week with police, fire rescue, EMS, veterinarians, building inspectors, inspectors from historic buildings comission (the structure Molly was trapped in was a registered historic building) volunteers, cat therapists, pet psychics and construction engineers at the scene.

It was probably the largest rescue operation ever launched for a domestic cat. It eclipses the operation launched to rescue my cat when she got caught in the dropped ceiling in my basement. We just kept removing ceiling tiles until she had no place to go and jumped on to my head.

our cat decided to hide in the ceiling of our aunt's home (we were staying for a bit while moving). He was totally quiet, but our other cat kept howling and looking UP. We think she was saying, "Stupid is up THERE!!!"

How he got up there no one had a clue. We had to remove the hardwood floor in the living room to get to him. The aunt was not pleased, and I"m not going to tell you what it cost to fix (well, it cost a few new boards and us working all weekend to get the cat out and then the boards back...speaking of backs, we've had bad backs ever since).

No doubt future issues of the National Enquirer will feature the psychic who showed firemen how to rescue Molly the cat.


I once was involved in a rescue attemp, with considerably fewer personnel, of a chinchilla who had escaped from his cage, and managed to crawl into a hole in a cinder block wall in a friend's basement. It was gone from the cage, and feared lost, until the wife of the house noticed what appeared to be chinchilla fur next to a hold in the basement wall. Once in, the stupid creature had crawled about four feet up the wall by moving between the blocks. We eventually chipped away a couple of the blocks until someone could reach in and grab it.
 
Wait a minute... you mean... this wall...


WASN'T the Israeli security fence?

Man, what a waste of a mouse click.
