Woman finds hungry calico cat hiding in $27 couch
32 mins ago

SPOKANE, Wash. – The mysterious mewing in Vickie Mendenhall's home started about the time she bought a used couch for $27. After days of searching for the source of the noise, she found a very hungry calico cat living in her sofa.

Her boyfriend, Chris Lund, was watching TV on Tuesday night and felt something move inside the couch. He pulled it away from the wall, lifted it up and there was the cat, which apparently crawled through a small hole on the underside.

Mendenhall contacted Value Village, where she bought the couch, but the store had no information on who donated it. So she took the cat to SpokAnimal CARE, the animal shelter where she works, so it could recover, and contacted media outlets in hopes of finding the owner.

Sure enough, Bob Killion of Spokane showed up to claim the cat on Thursday after an acquaintance alerted him to a TV story about it. Killion had donated a couch on Feb. 19, and his 9-year-old cat, Callie, disappeared at about the same time.

Aww, poor kitty!  At least she made it home safe!

Oh, that poor kitty! 

I am glad she was found by someone kind who took care of her after her ordeal and found her owner.

I had a cat that kept going into the back of our couch. I took a carpet stapler and repaired the couch. that really made the cat mad.... I  should have let the cat out first.

I had a brother and sister set of kitties who ripped open the lining under my box spring, and then would walk around inside it while I was sleeping, pulling at all the springs and making little "sproing" sounds.  They weren't happy when I staple-gunned thick burlap all over the bottom to keep them out!

OMG, we saw this on the local news last night (SPOKANE) and thought.... who would call the news about buying a used couch and finding a cat.  Then I saw it on FOX this morning.  I guess the other news isn't bad enough which is a "good" thing.
