Firefighters shot at for not helping a cat
Cat stuck in a tree? What do you do but call the Fire Department. The kicker is that he didn't call the fire department saying he needed a cat rescued, but told them the tree was on fire... They say it better than I do, read the story.

I'm not sure that's the word I would use to describe it. Perhaps if one of the bullets had ricocheted off the branch that the cat was in, imbedding in the shooter's shin, while the cat fell down, only to land on the shooter's head, I might consider it 'hilarious'.

I had a buddy who was a firefighter tell me he once asked a woman who'd called in a cat code blue if she'd ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree.

That was going to be my point. Why do so many people think that cats need to be "rescued" from trees?

That's nothing. This audio clip of an actual 911 call takes the cake.

note to self: 911 is a dating service

One more thing fire-fighters need to worry about. Burning buildings, Collapsing buildings, rescuing Trapped people, rescue cat for psycho owner...yep sounds about right. Now this is just me but im sure an Ax would have flown his way if i was on duty....This is why no body takes americans seriously

OMG!! I can't believe that. They really should have hung up on her, there could have been someone who actually needed to call 911. That is completly absurd.

Re: Firefighters shot at for not helping a cat
Jeez, why she felt compelled to call 911, I'll never know. I mean I've called 411 over alot bigger things.

Oh, and I'm sure Burger King is kicking them selves for losing the patronage of one physco lady (all the sarcasm in the world intended).

Actually, she's ordering something Burger King doesn't sell, but Carl's Jr. does.
