Cat survives 8 days in wall of Dallas home

Miss Kitty was found after her meows were heard from inside a home's wall.

Mike and Joanna Brown said they weren't sure if they should nickname their cat "Bunny" or "Sheetrock" after she was found two weeks after vanishing inside a neighboring home's walls.

Miss Kitty was returned to the couple on Easter, hence the nickname "Bunny."

Ten years ago, the Brown family found the stray cat stranded and alone in the street. Ever since that day, Mike Brown said the cat has been somewhat of a lovable nuisance.

"I think she's had three eye surgeries," he said. "This has been the most expensive stray of any cat in the world, but she's worth it."

But one day the couple said the cat went missing, and more than two weeks went by with no word or sign of the cat despite fliers displayed throughout the neighborhood.

But Brown said just as he and his wife began to lose hope, they finally heard a familiar sound while checking out a nearby home under construction.

"...We walked through this jack-and-jill bathroom, and when we got right here we heard a very faint 'meow,'" he said, pointing to one spot in the house. "I said, 'kitty, kitty, kitty,' and the cat went ballistic. We found the cat was actually in here in this wall."

The cat had somehow ended up perched tightly on a two-by-four sealed inside a wall of the home. The contractor busted through the wall, and Miss Kitty once again was saved by the Brown family.

"He goes, 'We sheetrocked this house eight days ago," Brown said. "So, she had been in there for eight days and she lost seven pounds."

He said Miss Kitty's experience made him a believer in the old "nine lives" cat tale.

"She wasted probably five of them in that house over there," he said. "She's got about four left."

-- OK, I'd like to know how the hell the cat got in the wall during construction, it had to have been put there by someone, how could they not now it was there

?? Poor thing was probably scared sh1tless!
