How this Sask. cat accidentally took a trip to the dump
Nov 9, 2026
And then you hear everyone be like, way to go, guys.
And it just like, you know,
kind of like the whole landfill staff was just like, oh, great.
It was just like such a good feeling.
It was a typical day.
As I'm hooking up to a bin, I hear over the radio,
Johnny, my manager, he's like, don't grab any bins.
I'll be right there.
It felt so silly to try to explain, like, the situation.
Like, yeah, my cat might be,
may or may not be hiding in a couch in one of your bins.
Like, could I please?
We were prepping for the moving guys to come
in to take our old couches to the dump.
They came and went, no problem.
Maybe like an hour later, my girlfriend and I were laying in bed.
We were saying, oh, I wonder when Moses is going to reappear
because she always hides whenever we have visitors.
She hates company.
And then it occurred to us that her favorite hiding place
is under the, like, inside the couch.
When I initially heard this, my stomach dropped.
I was pretty devastated, but also kind
of like that adrenaline where, like, oh.
Okay, if it's here, we've got to find this cat.
And you could see, like, where the cat had went in, you know,
like, there's, like, holes in the kind of mesh underneath or whatever.
So, like, we checked that one, and, you know, pretty thoroughly,
we cut in, checked everything, checked the other couch.
We were like, ugh, I don't know.
And then, god, let's check the couch one more time.
Like, it's got to be here. It's got to be here.
I was anxious. I was nervous because,
like, one, what if she's not in there?
Or two, like, what if the worst has happened
and something happened, you know, before we got to her?
All of a sudden, Johnny's like,
I see it and it was just just packed completely
in and you see all the belly fur and then like the eyes are like
She was really in there and like stuck in there.
They had a big knife and they cut the top of the couch open
and we had to pull the wood apart and I yanked her through.
When he was able to get the cat, gave it a hug, I had a tear welling up
because I love cats so much and I would imagine if that happened to me,
that would be my biggest nightmare.
I was shocked. I was shocked. I couldn't believe that she had survived.
She survived being thrown into the back of a moving truck,
thrown down into like a bin.
When we got there, like it had been like an hour or so,
but she completely unharmed, unscathed, no injuries.
It would have been such a devastating loss
to the whole, to all of us.
I love her, I mean, she's perfect.
She, yeah, she's just a little goofball.
It would have been so easy for them to just do nothing,
you know, or to just say like it's out of our hands
or there's just nothing we can do.
So just the fact that they were able to put forth
so much effort for someone and for both me and for Mose, of course,
for people they don't know, I mean, that just means everything to me.
But after a while, we just started making fun of her.
We were telling our other cat, like, hey,
Louie, did you go to the dump today?
No?
Like, oh, that's awesome.
Good job.
Oh,
Not everyone in this house could say that today.
my
God.
