We complain so much these days, I just wanted to give a shout out to my plumber. He came to do a furnace cleaning and check, and there was a dead cat in the cellar. I don't go down there much, it's creepy. Anyway he insisted on taking care of it, and would take nothing for it. I thought That I smelled something in the kitchen this AM ,but couldn't find anything. Anyway hats off to nice people everywhere who go above and beyond. Now to find out how poor kitty got in.

Always nice when someone goes beyond their requirements for their job to help others when the need be.As for those felines, they can be quick when necessary to sneak both in or out, when it comes to their desires.

How on earth did a cat get in your basement and you not know about it?  

It was really nice of your plumber to take to take care of it formyou.

I'd be very wary if a cat got in the basement some way. Please have someone check your foundation and any windows or other openings (like old coal chute, dryer vents, or other openings basements sometimes have) to be sure you don't have a big opening (or even a small one) that might let in more dangerous kinds of animals (skunks, raccoons, mice/rats, or snakes).

See if door frames have been beached or there are tunnels near the base of the house, outside, where animals might be getting in.

I'm sure your plumber will be tickled pink to see your shout out when he settles in his recliner to read the QVC bulletin boards this evening.

That was very nice of him to offer to dispose of the cat.  You must have a broken window in your basement.  Same thing happened to my sister in her garage which was below ground.

That was so nice of him to get that cat out of there for you.

There really are good people out there.

Make sure a chimney cap is installed over your chimney top; it prevents all sorts of animals (raccoons, squirrels, birds and probably cats) from gaining access. They are attracted to the warm chimney. Also when it rains heavily, the rain doesn't come into your chimney.
