Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2007Can a cat get out of a storm drain?
I just had a healthy looking cat with a collar run in front of my car. It ran right to a storm drain on the side of the road & went down (no hesitation, like he had done it before). Its right by my house & I went to 4 houses asking if anyone knew someone who had a cat like this. No one did. I thought maybe if its owners called it, it would come. I'm so worried about it. It was the kind with the bars on the ground & an opening in the side of the curb. I went & called it, but there is a tunnel it must of went in. Do those tunnels come out somewhere easy to get out? Are they usually far from where it went in? I don't see how he could get out the way he got in, but my parents say, "If it got in, it can get out" Does anyone know? NOT TRUE. most do come out in to the sewer system or a local drain system either gets dumped into a river, a drainage area or a central system call you local animal services tell them there is a cat possibly trapped in the storm drain we just had a local rescue from a storm drain. the furball had kittens in there If there is a chance cal la couple buddies pull up the bars and look in see if you can see the cat. it will not come to you if it does not know you >I just had a healthy looking cat with a collar run in front of my car.

I know that when I drive around my town at night, if I look in the storm drains I will see raccoons looking back. If a raccoon can get in and out, cats can too. Our cat went into a storm drain one time, but he definitely couldn't get out--we just pulled up the grate and he climbed out. He was meowing pretty loudly and had been missing for almost the entire day, so he was definitely trapped. It sounds like some cats can probably get out of storm drains just fine, but others may not be able to, or know how to. > I just had a healthy looking cat with a collar run in front of my car.
