Thanks to Officer Jeremy Rager of the Stillwater Police Department for taking the extra time and care not only to help us, but for staying with our girls late at night for two hours while they tried to coax the cat out of the pipe. He also drove by throughout the night, checking on her until Nettl could call someone for help this morning.Thanks also to Tony and Colton of Patriot Sewer & Drain for springing the prisoner this morning, and not charging us.Thanks to The Cat Clinic of Stillwater for taking good care of our cat, and special thanks to Shana Watkins for calling the sewer and drain company and giving them Nettl's cell phone number.
No thanks to the Night Auditor at the City of Stillwater utilities department. Not only did he not send anyone out to check on the situation, he also gave us misinformation about the grates being "welded down" when they aren't (we could have gotten her out last night, Numnutz!), and he didn't offer to help us by telling us who we should call. Also, no thanks to the City for not protecting the pen end of that pipe with a screen or a grate. I found it by tripping in it. Raspberries to you!You all rock, except the night auditor at the Stillwater utilities department, who didn't care if a defenseless animal lived or died, or that our kids would have to listen to her as she died in that god-awful hole, mistakenly thinking that there was nothing anyone could do.
