On June 21, in the heart of a devastating and bruising flood for a motorist, Iris the cat was saved in extremis from drowning, Dombresson (NE): Half a meter of water covered the garden: it is by miracle by taking care of a blind that I could, by catching it, save the cat from a certain drowning, reports Caryl Petermann.
Six months have passed since then. In the building where the animal lives, after the visit of an expert and an insurer, work was undertaken last November 29 to repair the slab of a garage that had collapsed in the middle.
The problem, as reported by Arcinfo, is that the black cat of Carine Cachelin and Caryl Petermann took refuge in boxing without a door. He crouched without being noticed when the workers poured a concrete screed. If we had been informed, we would have stashed our cat during the work, specify the owners of Iris.
Jackhammer intervention
This is where Lako (2 years old), a shepherd from Shetland, walks the day after the disappearance of the cat by Lyne Sartori, a young neighbor living next door. While the dog had to be brushed while returning from a walk, he then spontaneously went to the garage, sniffing and barking.
Freelance under the concrete slab in the garage, Iris manifested by meowing. The dog Lako heard her, and so did her mistress. The sound passed through a thin space where the air also passed, report Carine and Caryl. A police friend was alerted, who intervened with a jackhammer.

We did not know if Iris had cemented legs, report the owners of the little rescape. Two hours of drilling made it possible to free the walled cat for 24 hours, lying on its side in a puddle.
With a body temperature dropped to 28 degrees, Iris was transported to the vet in a blanket heated by a hot water bottle. Wild cat and fearful of birth, with brothers and sisters bitten by a fox in Ponts-de-Martel (NE), Iris has reinforced her distrust. It is she who comes to get the siding, conclude Carine Cachelin and Caryl Petermann.
