Title: Kitten rescued from California Bay Area freeway overpass
Post by: Lyon Wonder on June 25, 2021, 11:41:34 PM
An airport employee spotted a kitten stranded on the ledge of the I-380 connector overpass near the San Francisco International Airport and a PHS/SPCA staff member rescued the kitten with a sturdy net. The kitten's a calico and she's now been adopted.  I'm a cat person and I'm very glad this kitten was rescued.

Worst cat thing I ever saw: driving back on I-10 through Redlands, saw a terrified cat trapped on the median. I didn't have time or space to safely stop and try to get it to the other side of the road, so I kept going. About 15 seconds later I saw it fly up in the air in my rearview mirror.

That's pretty nasty. My worst experience was on I-43 in a rural section south of Green Bay. A family of ducks and ducklings trying to cross on the top of a hill where it was hard to see them until the last minute. I didn't hit any of them but the car in the left lane took out the mum.  :no:
