Trapped cat drives man to psych ward
By Ben Muessig
The Brooklyn Paper
It took animal rescuers, neighbors and a concerned pet owner 15 days - and one trip to the psych ward - to save a 7-year-old kitty that was trapped in a narrow shaft in a Carroll Gardens apartment building.
The part-Persian, part-American short-haired cat - named Rumi in honor of the famed Middle Eastern poet - owes it all to Chris Muth, the man who actually ended up in a mental hospital during the ordeal.
He has the “bizarre delusion [that he] was trying to ‘save’ a cat of his friend,” medical records show.
