Topic: WAY OT: Hey katt's cool story...

After discovering that the cat's body was still warm, they decided to try to save its kittens – even though neither of them knew how to do a caesarean section or had studied biology.

Kim borrowed a sweater, knife and some cotton swabs from a nearby house.

They decided Monica would do the surgery. She told the newspaper she wasn't sure where to cut, but made an incision into the mother cat's belly and could see the kittens.

She pulled them out and found that two of four kittens were still alive, so she cut their umbilical cords and wiped the mucus from their noses.

Kim bundled the kittens carefully in the sweater, then the teens raced home with them.

They telephoned several people but were unable to reach a veterinarian.

That evening, a cat in the neighbourhood that had recently lost its brood heard the kittens mewing and adopted them. One of the kittens later died but the other was adopted by Monica.

WOW. Cool story.

I once had my cat slice open a lizards belly with its claw that I was holding... I felt so bad, I went into my moms sewing kit, got a needle and thread and sowed it back up. The skin of a lizard is SO hard to stick a needle thru. Amazing. I dont know how my cat sliced one open so easily like she was a can opener or something.

I saw that lizard two days later hanging on a screen. Wonder how long it lived....

I heard about 1 minute later, when your cat was outside and saw it hanging there.
