Wall-E

I have yet to introduce our new pet on the blog.

Meet Walle...



He's named after one of our kids' favorite Disney movies...




He's a great cat. Trust me, he must be great because that's coming from a family of dog-lovers, not cat people.

Walle is a stray kitten that found his way to Jason's parent's farm and into our kids' hearts. They just fell in love with this kitten, so we ended up taking him home.




Did I mention they {heart} this cat?!? They really do. They're always carrying him around, putting him in boxes or in wagons, or if you are Chloe, putting him in the dryer.

And Walle doesn't seem to mind one bit.

Actually, he kind of seems to like tight spaces.

Like, the inside of our wall for instance.

Yes, that's right, you read that correctly...the inside of our wall.

Last week I was sitting at the computer when I heard a 'meeeooooowwww' and something slide down the inside of the wall I was sitting by. I looked at Jason, he looked at me, and we both said, "Walle!"

The cat had gotten into the house through a little hole that is not yet sealed up where our fireplace piping goes outside. And since we've gutted out the main level of the house as part of our extensive home renovation project, Walle somehow got into the floor from upstairs and slid down between the studs of the basement wall.

Could you get any more ironic than having your cat, named Walle, get stuck in your Wall? Seriously!

After a lot of meowing from the cat and a lot of wondering how we're going to get this cat out of the wall, Walle was thankfully able to climb up the inside of the wall and into the basement ceiling. The other option was that we were going to have to cut a hole in the wall to get him out, and that would have brought Walle down on the popularity ratings around the Sanders household for sure!

After Walle got up the wall to the basement ceiling, Jason was able to take out one of the canned lights and pull the cat out through the light opening in the ceiling, like this...{excuse the poor photo quality. I didn't make the poor cat stay trapped in the ceiling so that I could grab my flash.}











What? Haven't you ever pulled your cat out of your wall before?

Hmmm. You mean that's not normal?

Well, neither is our life.

Cuz' really, are you that surprised that this happened to us?

I thought not.
