Name it Spud -- kitten's a little couch potato

Goodwill stores often get unusual donations, but the one in Huron received a sofa on Thursday that literally was the cat's meow.

A kitten had somehow gotten trapped inside the couch, and its meows alerted store personnel to the young feline's predicament.

"We heard meowing and didn't know where it was coming from," store clerk Kaila Voight said.

"We finally figured out it was coming from the couch. We removed the cushions and out popped the kitten's head through a slit in the fabric covering the springs," she said.

As a precaution, store personnel tore apart the sofa, but didn't find any more kittens.

The donor later called Goodwill to say she was missing a kitten and that it might be in the couch. She was relieved to learn it had been found and gave her permission for a customer to adopt it.

WOW...talk about deja vu! Several years ago I donated a couch to Goodwill and my son and a friend delivered to the store. My yellow manx kitteh who seldom meows was in the couch, but luckily started meowing after they unloaded the couch at the store and was brought home.

Moral of these stories, count your kittehs when you give away furniture!

Anyone interested om adopting a minature pincher or greyhound; please let me know by private email and I will send you the info. A friend of mine’s sister took them out of a kill shelter because an irresponsible breeder brought them in to be euthanised. They are adorable.

Bad breeder.

Thanks and please pass on to anyone wanting to adopt.
