Miss Kitty Web Log page 31 - Miss Kitty Weathers Hurricane Katrina

As we were wrapping up this story, all the links below were suddenly redirected by MSNBC and in the process, some photos, etc. were lost. The video links are still valid but you will have to get them directly from the pages, as I don't know how to redirect those links for you. I have watched the video of searching for Miss Kitty in the ruined condo, which was shattered, and the reunion link. It was worth the trouble of downloading the links and installing Windows Media Player, which you probably already have on your PC. It's quite a story!

As you know, The Miss Kitty Web Log is all about ME! Well, not this time. This one is about another Miss Kitty from Slidell, Louisiana. She's a "blue cream tortie," like me; that is, her speckled brown and gray fur coat pattern is called "tortoiseshell dilute." The other Miss Kitty is 17 years old, with medium long hair. She looks just like me, only 15 years older -- with hair extensions. And her housemate, "Wild Bill" Harris, loves her very much, just as Miss Jerrianne loves me.

This story is all about the other Miss Kitty's hair raising experience during Hurricane Katrina -- how she and "Wild Bill" got trapped inside their flooded condo, how she led him to a chair where they clung to each other for the better part of three days, how they got separated and what happened to them after that. Click the links to read, hear and watch the other Miss Kitty's gripping story. There is a picture of "Wild Bill's" Miss Kitty in the last link.

[ AUDIO LINK ] Don't miss the audio -- it's an amazing account of a frightening experience.

The above link is where the story begins, but not where it ends. To follow the story, read to the end and then click the next link in the list below. The series includes a short video of a joyful -- and tearful -- reunion. Everybody cried but Miss Kitty. She just purred.

A HITCH IN THE MISS KITTY SAGA

Although Miss Kitty couldn't stay at the nursing home in Slidell with Bill Harris, she made regular visits from her temporary quarters about a mile away. In late November 2005, as Miss Kitty's rescuers were shutting down the Noah's Wish Hurricane Katrina pet rescue operations in Slidell, Bill Harris passed away. Donna Wackerbauer, Miss Kitty's rescuer from Noah's Wish, said she would adopt Bill's Miss Kitty and take her home to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
