Family's lost cat found nailed under floorboards
When the family's away. . . one very old cat will get nailed under the floorboards.


That's what happened to the Ronayne family's 19-year-old tabby, who gave up hiding in boxes to snuggle up under the floorboards while renovations were taking place at their two-storied Tauranga home.

The family of four was in the process of making extensions and renovating their home – and the upstairs layout and flooring was part of the change.

This proved disastrous for adventurous Yitty.

Building had just finished and Rob and Cameron Ronayne were happily enjoying a night in their freshly renovated home when they realised their furry friend had failed to appear for bedtime.

8. I'm just sort of wondering
how people would react if this story had been about this happening to a dog, or a child. For some reason, the people that don't like cats find it hilarious to hear about a cat dying. Most people that dislike dogs, or kids, don't find stories about dogs or kids dying all that funny.

I've never understood why that is.
