Paulywally Posted October 30, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Why do I think they tossed this cat at the fire pole to make him slide down it, I am skeptical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJNYC Posted October 30, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 30, 2017 This is GREAT! And, saw a post that someone said they tossed the cat and I doubt that. He wouldn't have known to grab the pole, I think he would have tried to get away. Wonderful cat and video! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cat looked very stressed when it was in that car with the firefighters judging by his panting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDolly Posted February 24, 2022 #14 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The cat didn't look stressed in the car, looked like he was yawning. And yes they did fake news back then and salacious stories.The New York Graphic run by Berrnar McFadden, founder of True Story Magazine and several others ran a story about a man who escaped a mental asylum and raped a woman. The title of the article on the front page read :Nut Bolts and Screws, and no not making this up. The scandal of Daddy and Peaches Browning they did what they called a cosmograph or some such name. It was photos to which they added captions. You can Google this, so it's nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
