yer just too fat...
no, not you.. heh.
I dont have a picture because im just not that cruel, i was too busy getting him free..
But I thought I would let you guys know. You know how they say that a cat has no true collar bone, so anything they can get their head into they can get through? Yeah, not so with our silly kitty. He's about four months old and apparently getting too big for his britches. When he was a LITTLE kitten, he used to scamper under the doors in our house, they are a couple inches off the ground and he used to have easy clearance, but he's getting fat ::grin::. Yeah he doesnt look fat but he is growing like a weed he's been just scraping by for the last couple weeks but he never got the hint that he was just getting too big.
So today it happened. He got stuck. He got his head and shoulders out and go stuck just about the ribcage. He started yowling and my husband tried opening the door, unfortunately that just got him stuck worse, and about then I realized something was wrong (I was asleep in the next room) and jumped up (bare assed naked of course) to help. That poor kitty was so patient and good, we were pushing on him and trying to figure out how to get him out of there and he never tried to bite or scratch once. So im trying to keep the kitty calm and yelling at hubby to get a lever.. he brings a claw hammer.. yeah thats gonna lift a door alright. So hes prying on the door, doing nothing but splintering the hollow wood on the edge, which doesnt help kitty a bit, and I'm trying to lift the thing with brute (non) strength. Finally my SIX year old listens to me and brings me a broom handle which I shove under the door and pry up on to get a few millimeters more clearance, then I gently slide him sideways out from under the door. He seems fine now, not even any skin damage, and he put up with my daughter snuggling him for the last few hours since with good humor. Hes eating and drinking so I think he will survive his trauma, and hopefully will never try to go under that door again! (or any other!!)
