Bonus update. I found this adorable video on YouTube and couldn’t resist sharing it. This is Snookers the Cat who has discovered a very unique way of drinking water, by letting it run over his face!
Why not be the talk of your work buddies by trying this technique at the office water cooler?
It’s not unusual for a cat to need rescuing from a dangerous situation by the local fire department, but it’s quite rare for the lifeboats to be called out.
However, this is exactly what happened when Sukie the cat and her owner Dave Allison found themselves out at sea, four miles from the trecherous rocks off the Mull of Kintyre, Scotland, in gale force winds. Luckily for all involved the Campbeltown RNLI lifeboat crew were at hand to pull sailor Allison and his soggy moggy Sukie to safety.
Mr Allison believed he and Sukie were lucky to have survived. The sea-faring companions were heading to Ireland from Jura when the water became extremely rough. Allison had never seen weather so bad and at one point had to crawl along the foredeck to take down the sail. One slip and Sukie the cat would have been sailing on alone.
Heroic crew members from the Lifeboat pulled Allison and Sukie aboard to safety, with Sukie hiding inside her owner’s jacket.
After the ordeal Allison said that Sukie did not seem to be put off sailing by the near-fatal incident and had returned to her normal self. He even gave her a few extra biscuits to help her get over the ordeal. Hopefully, after their experience, they hadn’t gone soggy!
