http://www.sptimes.com/2004/07/09/Northpinellas/Holiday_boaters_rescu.shtml Poor baby!!!!!!! http://www.sptimes.com/2004/07/09/Northpinellas/Holiday_boaters_rescu.shtml > Poor baby!!!!!!! LUCKY baby! Cute, too :) Jill http://www.sptimes.com/2004/07/09/Northpinellas/Holiday_boaters_rescu.shtml > > Poor baby!!!!!!! > > LUCKY baby! Cute, too :) > > Jill FOrtunately, lucky in time to save his little life. He probably couldn't have kept swimming for very long. I think he's DEFINITELY used up one of his nine lives. But he's an adorable little fellow. I certainly hope his fall was accidental, rather than due to someone throwing the poor thing overboard deliberately. Melissa > http://www.sptimes.com/2004/07/09/Northpinellas/Holiday_boaters_rescu.shtml > > Poor baby!!!!!!! Oh, how adorable Nemo is. A couple of things that struck me about the story. One was it looks like the lady holding the kitty as a Penn State Nittany Lions short on. It just struck me as funny that someone with a feline shirt on would of course rescue a feline (also both myself and hubby are Penn Staters) Also, interesting and telling that it seems like only the news people came up with the possibility of shark bait.  SignatureMargaret Fine mefine@mindspring.com Also, interesting and telling that it seems > like only the news people came up with the possibility of shark bait. <snip> Of course the newscasters are making a mountain out of a molehill - sharkbait. Sensationalism is the word I'm looking for! How strange for the kitty to end up where she was, but thankfully she was saved! I too noticed the PSU shot - wondering if they have PA connections?

Has anybody outside of the finders spoken of its loss? If not, it probably was not accidental. I cannot imagine the type of person who would deliberately do such a thing. MLB >Has anybody outside of the finders spoken of its loss? If not, it >probably was not accidental. I cannot imagine the type of person who >would deliberately do such a thing. MLB Someone on another group said the kitten was likely shark bait that got away. Isn't that a horrible thought. In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes", Jul 2004: >>Has anybody outside of the finders spoken of its loss? If not, >>it probably was not accidental. I cannot imagine the type of >>person who would deliberately do such a thing. MLB > > Someone on another group said the kitten was likely shark bait > that got away. Isn't that a horrible thought. I just might not want to believe that, but I wonder if someone didn't even know there was a kitten hiding on their boat and in its fear, it jumped off the boat? I first thought maybe a stray had kittens on someone's boat, but there wouldn't still be 10 week old kittens hiding with mom, would there? SignatureCheryl Some people said things, and then:- Cheryl added >I just might not want to believe that, but I wonder if someone didn't >even know there was a kitten hiding on their boat and in its fear, it >jumped off the boat? I first thought maybe a stray had kittens on >someone's boat, but there wouldn't still be 10 week old kittens >hiding with mom, would there? I don't see why not. Kittens need to be taught the hunt and all the best places to find food. This usually takes several months, I think. Besides, there are generations of cats all living together quite happily in my neighbour's stables. Last time I visited a grandma and two of her grown up daughters were sharing a hay bale, daughters still tucked up against grandma just like they always used to. What made it amazing was that all three were being climbed over by playful kittens and both daughters were suckling.

She got the cave. > http://www.sptimes.com/2004/07/09/Northpinellas/Holiday_boaters_rescu.shtml > > Poor baby!!!!!!! What a gorgeous little fellow!

And how lucky he was to be found. ditto, I imagine he was VERY lucky to be spotted, and now has a new home. Even if his being in the water wasn't malicious, with the worms it doesn't sound like he had a good life before.
