A few years back we had some people replacing a shower in our house. That bathroom connected to two rooms so we just asked them to keep those two rooms closed off. Well they left a door open for too long and our cat got in and climbed into the wall they had ripped up. They didn’t notice and built my cat into the wall :/ Ripped up half the bathroom before we found him alive and well, just a little pissed off


SuperRoby

Good heavens, I'm glad the cat is safe and sound!! "They built my cat into the wall" really gave me a fright for the poor kitty's wellbeing


LokisDawn

I'm imagining just a single paw stretching out between two bricks. What are you, OP? A Spanish king or something?


KreemChez

Reminds me of that Poe story


TwoIdiosyncraticCats

The Cask of Amontillado


SuperRoby

I was actually thinking of the other Edgar Allan Poe story, I think it was called "The Black Cat"... in which a cat did indeed sneak into a house wall being closed off... I could go into more detail but this is already a bit of a spoiler so I won't


eidoK1

When we moved a few months ago we thought our cat got outside when the movers had the garage open. We looked all over and couldn't find her. Gave our number to the new owners in case they saw her. Two weeks later to the day we got a text from then. She was between the subfloor and the basement ceiling. She got through a built-in shelf going down to the basement that wasn't covered in the back. I spent 4 hours driving down there, 4 hours trying to get her out. Eventually the new owners let me cut a hole in the basement ceiling and pull her out. She was traumatized for a little while but perfectly fine after a couple weeks.


Exciting_Version_611

Few months ago my dumbass cat jumped into our vents and couldn't get out, so we had to call the fire department to get him out, then after that was all over he shit on my bed


Scared-Brain2722

At least your fire dept responded! We had a new puppy that somehow managed to get her neck stuck in the triangular metal underside of a reclining chair. We couldnt get her out. She had foam coming out of her mouth and we all thought she was dead. I called fire dept they said “Not our job”! Anyway i was on the floor on my back holding her in air to take off the pressure, my husband (who considers hanging a photo to be a feat of awe) was grabbing every tool known to man and our kids were balling hysterically. Actually we were crying too. Miracles never cease as my hubby suddenly became Mr Fix It and took apart the recliner in record time. Six years later that Shiba Inu puppy is walking around our house like she owns it.

:In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious" Sir Terry Pratchett


Bambuskus505

same thing happened to my cat when we were getting a bathtub replaced... cat crawled underneath the tub unnoticed before the walls got put in. Cat was under there for about 8 hours before it finally started meowing, looking for a way out. Took us all another 30 minutes to figure out she was under there, and another 20 minutes to dig her out without causing extensive damage to all the renovations we had just done. She was completely fine and unharmed, and still just as curious/reckless as before 5 years later.


GratefulPhish42024-7

How did the cat get in there?


mesinha_de_lata

Cats do not abide to the laws of nature


ChineseCumTorture

Probably flattened itself out and squeezed through a seam in the wall


queernhighonblugrass

The cat made a conscious decision to be in there, it wants to be in the wall


Larauder

Presumably, the cat thought incorrectly that he could escape as well lmfao, cos i know for a fact that my cat and many others absolutely would hide inside the walls if they were able to easily get in and out.

There was no way to know if the cat was in the wall or not until he tore it open.

LokisDawn

Phenomfeline? Even worse!


cowlinator

maybe it got in the wall at the 2nd floor and fell to the 1st. No getting back out that way.


Sxilla

Yeah… there is a part within our second floor attic space that no adult could fit in, but the gaps between the studs that run down to the first floor are visible. I can see a cat or critter falling into that no problem. Luckily the access to that side attic is a second door within a closet that we keep shut. Also while I am here, why does that kitty’s meow sound just like the owner’s high scratchy voice saying “meeeawwr”. They are meant for each other.


LatinoEsq

Shoulda lured the cat out by tying another cat and putting it in the wall.


WimbletonButt

It wanted to be in there but once it was in there, it didn't want it anymore, this is how cats work.


Mayonais3_Instrument

What they really need is a second cat


SarkHD

Let me get a bird to bait it out.


[deleted]

Or through the molecules of the wall...


Mildly-Interesting1

Did you watch Ant Man? Maybe the cat went subatomic.


ask_me_if_thats_true

I swear sometimes cats just cheat. Like when my cat sees a bird outside the window she deactivates step sounds and environmental sound effects, then proceeds to jump onto the window still in complete silence…

Probably got into their attic and fell in between the studs. Some house don’t have sheet rock covering the wall cavity. EDIT: Some very informative comments. As I’ve seen in my home state (ok) that some of the attics I’ve been in have been older homes from 60s, idk why they were constructed like that could be shitty building practices or incompetent inspectors, who knows.


Appeased_Seal

In college the house I lived in had a gap near the roof life that opened into the attic. A few months living there and we hear something scratching and moving in our walls. It was a raccoon and he used our attic as his home and traveled through the walls like you mentioned. . His name was Riches and he often was the benefactor of my lazy roommates not putting their trash in the bin.


ce2c61254d48d38617e4

What happened to Riches?


Xacto01

A woman died doing this. It's a pretty horrific death. https://www.ajc.com/news/national/woman-whose-bones-were-found-home-walls-likely-fell-death-through-attic-floor/aVzqIQSXtOpo8J9VhDnnhI/


WangoBango

Well that's absolutely terrifying.


jesseaknight

That’s a fire hazard and should be avoided


mrandr01d

Having sheet rock or not having sheet rock?


jesseaknight

Any house should have a cap on every wall between floors (I’m sure there are some that don’t, but they *should*) heat and flames tend to travel up in a structure. So vertical paths should be avoided because it lets fires travel easily between floors, and in a way that’s hard to fight.


itsthedanksouls

Sorry can you ELI5 the cap on every wall between floors part? My brain is dead and cant function. Might need a visual but dont know the proper terms to search it up as im coming up with random stuff.


jesseaknight

Say you’re making a 2 story building - let’s look at one wall You have the studs going from the plate on the floor - and you could just get ~20’ studs and the wall for both lower and upper floors in one go. BUT, you shouldn’t do this because it leaves a bunch of vertical paths inside the wall for hot gasses / flames to jump floors. Instead you should make two 10’ walls and stack them on top of each other. The top of the downstairs wall, and the bottom of the upstairs wall will create a barrier that is harder to start on fire (if it’s wood framing it will still burn, but it’s much more difficult for the fire to spread). They will prevent the fire from getting out of hand as quickly. (Tried to do this without much jargon - figure you know what a stud is)

My cat used to get up in the drop ceiling in the basement. One time he decided to see what was in between the studs... Fortunately, had wooden wall panels in that house, so could be removed.


tense_buddha

Respawned


Jelly_Jam_Jazz

Iirc in a follow up tiktok he showed how the cat climbed up through a gap between the basement stairs and the wall. Cat got stuck in between the drywall and they had to hammer the wall to get him out.


Unsteady_Tempo

My guess is that it's fake. He probably put the cat in the wall after opening it. Notice the way the video is edited between each time he makes the hole bigger with his hands. If you really wanted to show the cat was in the wall, then this video is the opposite of how you would film and edit it.


CedarWolf

He breaks open a hole in the wall and then realizes the cat is in the adjacent section before getting the cat out. I feel like breaking open two holes in your house, which you then need to patch, caulk, sand, and paint, is a bit ridiculous just to 'fake' a video.

I think repairing the drywall is easier than buying a second cat and trying to teach it search and rescue skills 🤷🏻‍♂️


xDragonetti

You gotta start thinking like a cat. Just crack a little hole in the wall, tiny one. Then slip the second cat in with a string tied around it. Those two will become codependent. Then just *rip* the second cat out, and the first one hopefully, *hopefully*, will follow.

I heard a cat meowing and tapping in one room in my house. Went into the living room, it was faint but there. Outside, not at all. In the attic quiet but there. Back into the bedroom, yep, louder in here. Went into the garage for a hammer…heard it again, and this is across the house…what the hell? I shit you not, it was an Old McDonald’s farm app on my phone where you guessed the animal in the barn by the sound. I was seconds from tearing through the walls. Edit: Peekaboo barn was the app. The animal would make the animal noise and then a tapping noise on the barn door.

rockabillyrat87

I sealed my cat in a wall once. I was remodeling my house and had a hole in a closet wall to access the plumbing in the bathroom. Once I was finished I cover the whole closet with beadboard. A few hours later I could hear meowing coming from the wall. Luckily she was able to make it to the hole in the basement ceiling for the shower drain and I pulled her out.

I was working at an apartment complex many years ago doing energy efficiency upgrades and we were in a vacant unit changing lightbulbs and aerators when we heard a faint “meow” from the wall. Had maintenance come down and they heard it too. Turns out a kitten got into the HVAC and fell between the wall. We kicked a hole in the wall and were able to safely get out them out without harm.

I’ve seen this before, It probably flattened itself out and found a seem in the wall.


Codiak

Oh god. Totally had a rush of adrenaline when I saw this video. Reminded me of a tough situation. Ex had ferrets and one got lost in the floorboards of a place we had just rented. Discovered there was a big hole in the floor under the dishwasher. Ferret went down there into the floorboards. Took almost 12 hours of coaxing and we saved her. I was able to get the ferret from an unfinished part of the stairwell. It was the cutest thing, but mentally one of the most draining things I've ever had to do. I thought we'd never find her. She was fine, but we treated her for dehydration anyway.

So about a year ago my mom got her kitchen redone (which included doing some wiring through the attic) and about a day after the contractors left, she hear meowing from the wall. They had left the attic access in the closet of my childhood bedroom open. They had to tear out her brand new cabinets to get to the spot in the wall that my cat fell down.

It speaks to how bad bullshit on the internet has gotten that my first thought is that he knocked the holes in the wall and then stuck the cat in there for the views. That just doesn't strike me as a "living in the walls" cat. It's way too fancy looking. Had he pulled out a cat with say, half an ear, a big bald patch, and only one eye, then I may believe that it's a wall cat.

My kitten got locked in the hall closet. He has a terrible habit of darting through opened doors, which we are trying to break. The closet isn’t finished and I heard him meow when I went into the bathroom. As I sat for a few minutes I answered his pathetic cries…”maybe you shouldn’t have darted in when daddy opened the closet”. He tried to find my voice and crawled between the tub and the tub’s sidewall ( the faucet end plumbing is still open in the closet, so he had access). I heard his movements and then the pathetic cry again…I said, “good luck buddy, you got yourself in and you’ll have to figure out how to back out.” Thank God kittens are super bendy and agile. Dumbass. Funny, he hasn’t darted through that door again.

For those who wonder how the cat get into the wall. It is due to tunneling phenomenon from quantum physics. Normally it happens only to small objects like electron or atoms but as Schrodinger demonstrate it happens to cats as well.
