CLEVELAND — It's a "tail" of survival for this kitty.
A scrawny, black and white female kitten has apparently survived a trip across the Pacific Ocean and North America inside a shipping crate. Cleveland Animal Protective League Executive Director Sharon Harvey says a Cleveland company that received the crate of spooled steel coil Friday found the kitten inside one the spools.
Harvey says the mother cat and other kittens found in the crate were dead. The crate came to Samsel Supply Co. from Singapore. It was sealed Feb. 4 and shipped three days later.
The approximately 12-week-old kitten has been checked by a veterinarian and has responded well to being fed.
It will be kept in quarantine for about three weeks to make sure it doesn't pass any infectious disease to other animals.

Seems like there is a website for everything. A couple of years ago someone e-mailed me a cats in a sink website.

I guess at least they don’t have them dressed like Hitler—or do they? :(

I don’t know. When people say something will take affect or happen in 2010 or 2011 I keep thinking it’s a long way off. I forget we are almost through the first decade.

Too bad—I read the article and it looks like the kitty from 2004 is a female. I thought so from the pic—Calico colors. They’ll just have to be “partners”.
