I'm not crazy, doctor. There really is a cat in my wall.
A Brooklyn man found himself locked up in a loony bin for four days after he smashed down walls in three apartments trying to rescue a fugitive feline.
The bizarre tale began when a mischievous kitty named Rumi decided to explore a hole in the wall of a condo undergoing renovation in Carroll Gardens.
Unfortunately for Rumi, the hole opened on a 30-foot shaft and he fell to the bottom.

It is straight to Heaven for this guy when his time is up .
I would have been in the bed next to him... ;-)
Have done alot of animal rescues...
Happy this story had a happy ending
This must be New York lingo.
As on another thread, I hope the mental health guys have shitty lawyers...lawyers they richly deserve.
Cats are evil L0L
I would have been extremely pissed at the super AND the damn psych ward. It would have been very easy to figure out he wasn’t crazy. Drop a very sensitive mic down the shaft and any other place he saw the cat, you’d hear the thing shortly.
Poor kitty.
btt
Meow.
Good for you!
A true hero!
Remember when that happened to Druscilla?
