You'd better believe I'm going to start a "Caption this pic" thread for this one!
Wow! That's one tough - and lucky - kitty!
[Freepmail me to get on or off the Kitty Ping List.]
Thanks for posting this story. Now the next time our cat squawks about not getting fed for 2 or 3 days, I'll just say, "Quitcher cryin'. Just be thankful you're not that Mattson cat."
Nice cat story ping.
Love this story!
Awww! Very cute very mixed breed kitty.
Hamming it up for the camera, Go-KITTY Go-KITTY
What a beautiful, tough little cat! How do I get on her adoption list?!
Heard the story on AM radio - made natioanl news.
But how do you get it to listen?
Great story...Thanks!
Bump, Rock on, Quat.
There's adoption info at the source link, but the waiting list is pretty long.

I presume you could call the quarantine facility here and offer to ransom her and pay the flight back to Seattle. I did the math- total for quarantine for this little kitty is $2400 if she stays the full 4 months. They finally revised the medieval quarantine laws here so if you know you're coming and jump through the right hoops the little beasties can avoid it now. Poor Matson didn't jump through the hoops obviously.
And to think we thought the approximate $1000 in vet fees, quarantine fees, and flight we paid 3 years ago to bring our pet cat here was ridiculous.
Now THAT'S a Viking Kitty!!!
My pleasure. You wouldn't believe where I found it!
All your Matson container are belong to us!
