A Couch is not a Home

The mysterious mewing in Vickie Mendenhall’s home started about the time she bought a used couch from an Opportunity Shop.

After days of searching for the source of the noise, she found a very hungry cat living in her sofa.

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 an animal shelter, and contacted media outlets in hopes of finding the owner.

Sure enough, Bob Killion of Spokane showed up to claim the cat after he was alerted by a TV story. Killion had donated a couch, and his 9-year-old cat, Callie, disappeared at about the same time.

At least this has a happy ending.
