Nearly 50 cats were rescued Thursday from a one-story house in Martinsburg, West Virginia, which was filled with feces that in some areas were half a foot deep. Animal control officers wearing protective suits and air packs also found two dead kittens in the huge piles of feces. According to the rescue team, some cat feces were about 3 feet wide while in other areas the feces was 3 inches to 6 inches deep.

In an enactment of what may sound as a scene from an action film, a man wrestled a wild leopard that entered his house and pinned it for 20 minutes until the park rangers arrived and took the cat away. The incident happened last week as Arthur Du Mosch, 49, was asleep with his family and a leopard entered through his bedroom window and hopped into his family bed.

A cat named Satan that had been missing for three weeks was finally recovered after its owner in Greeley, Colorado, found the animal trapped inside a bathroom wall. It is presumed that the mischievous pet sneaked its way into a hole in a nearby apartment's wall while some plumbing work was being done a few weeks ago and was later cemented up.

A cat survived a two-hour flight to Toronto and a one-hour car ride inside its owner's suitcase, even though security at St. John Airport had scanned the bag before boarding. The cat, named Ginger, had apparently slipped into owner Mary Martell's suitcase while she was packing and wasn't noticed until Martell got to her Niagara-on-the-Lake hotel.

Officers called for catching a mountain lion spotted wandering in the Franklin Business Park in Wisconsin on Tuesday afternoon, could not find the cat but did see a coyote in the area. According to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports, police called the regional office of the state Department of Natural Resources at about 2:30 p. m. on Tuesday after employees of Electronic Cable Specialists reported seeing an animal that resembled a mountain lion in some nearby woods.
