KITTEN RESCUED FROM CONVEYOR BELT OF DEATH

A worker at a Galt, California, recycling center saved a tiny kitten from certain death when he spotted the animal heading down a conveyor belt. Tony Miranda was sorting recyclables Tuesday when he found the pink-nosed, white-pawed cat between the debris and scooped it up. It’s not clear how the kitten got in with the trash, but it may have survived a ride in a dump truck before a tractor pushed it onto one of two conveyer belts. Another worker decided to adopt the kitten and named it Murphy.
* What – the name “Lucky” was too obvious?
* The guy who saved the kitty wouldn’t adopt it? What a jerk.
* But he was right to remove the kitten from the recyclables. It should have been on the conveyor belt for organic waste.
* Well, now this is just making me think of that scene in Toy Story 3, and I’m crying again.
* Even Grumpy Cat smiled when he heard about this.
* So the cat’s down to 8 lives then.
* The cat has responded to being rescued with a big show of indifference.
* We could have a new play here. Forget “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” We’ve got “Cat on a Conveyor Belt.”
* Excuse me…That wasn’t dramatic enough … how about “Cat on the Conveyor Belt of Death”?
* Actually Dr. Seuss had a book about a kitten on a conveyor belt. It was called “The Cat that Went Splat!”
