I was stunned when I saw the news about this man not realizing his cat was inside his couch when he sold it. But who am I to judge?
A few years back, I closed my own cat inside a couch. It was one of those pull-out couches, and one morning I got up, brushed my teeth, poured cat food in my cat’s bowl, went back to make my bed (the pull-out couch), and tidied the room.
After I had my breakfast, I realized that my cat’s food bowl was still full… after a few ”here, kitty, kitty” calls, it just hit me! The couch! I rushed back to the living room, opened the couch, and there was Missy, jumping out!
Oh, I felt horrible! Can you imagine how this guy must have felt when he realized he sold his own cat?!
My Cat Is Missing… Or Is She?
Matt Lumabi, the cat’s owner, initially thought his beloved feline friend Marley had gone missing, leading to a frantic search filled with worry.
However, he soon discovered something that left him utterly speechless.
Believe it or not, his dearest fluffy companion had been hiding inside the couch he had just sold! It was a twist he definitely never saw coming.
“When the guys came over to buy the couch, Marley came into the room and crawled underneath the couch, which we didn’t notice.”
The couch was loaded up into the moving van, and Marley set off on an adventure to Richmond. However, Matt quickly realized that Marley was missing.
“I tore my room apart and, umm, tried to look for her, but couldn’t find her…”
Matt was worried sick. He scoured the neighborhood, calling out for Marley, and even contacted the guys who had purchased the couch – but there was no sign of his beloved feline.
Determined to find him, Matt put up missing posters and was touched when his neighbors joined in the search.
Despite their efforts, there was still no trace of Marley, and the anxiety began to take its toll. For three long days, Matt couldn’t eat or sleep, consumed with worry about his fluffy companion.
“Sleepless nights, you know, all these forums… trying to figure out what to do.”
After some time, the guy who bought the couch from Matt contacted him saying that they sold the couch to someone else, and then found out that there was a cat inside. Matt then realized how she got inside:
“The couch has a pouch underneath for the legs, I guess Marley found her way underneath it, and she must have burrowed down there for about three days.”
Fortunately, everything ended up ok. Marley is perfectly fine, and even though she spent about three days inside a couch, she’s acting normally.
Marley is at home and Matt can finally fall asleep knowing that his kitty is safe and sound.
Can you imagine? I don’t know what I would do if something like this happened to me. This is an unusual yet interesting story, with a happy ending.
