 The 911 dispatchers in Gaston County took a bizarre call about a cat
stuck in a toilet. Christie Klassette rescued old Charlie a couple of
months ago.
The cat has never been a problem until Sunday.
Klassette was in the kitchen and heard Charlie squealing. The sound was
coming from the bathroom. The cat's back legs were stuck in the drain.
"He
was splashing water everywhere," she said. Klassette tried everything
to get the feline loose. "I thought he was just sitting there but when
I went to pick him up he wouldn't move," she said.
She picked up the phone and called 911. The fire department arrived in five minutes. They used hammers to break the toilet bowl.
"They had to either bust the toilet or break his legs," Klassette said. In about 15 minutes, Charlie was free.
Klassette
isn't sure whether her 3-year-old son William tried to flush Charlie or
if the feline was trying to drink water from the bowl.
