Kitten takes a gamble, beats the odds


A kitten is held by its rescuer, Josh Nelson, a security guard at Black Bear Casino Resort, after it was discovered tucked away in a car's frame last week. (Submitted photo)

CARLTON,, Minn — A kitten used up one of its nine lives last week after apparently hitchhiking from the North Shore to Carlton beneath a car — but found a new home in the process.

The black-and-white kitten was discovered hiding in the underside of a car Tuesday at Black Bear Casino Resort after a concerned customer leaving the casino heard meowing coming from a parked car in the ramp and notified security.

Josh Nelson, a Black Bear security guard, followed the tiny calls for help and located a silver Impala. Using a flashlight, Nelson found the little kitten poking its head out of a hole under the frame of the car in the trunk area.

"I found him under the strut housing on the back side of the vehicle," said Nelson. "I was able to get in there nice and gentle and pull him out."

Who also had, still has, incredibly long whiskers ad eyebrows.
More pronounced on the wee kitties, but very impressive in our now 9 month old furry.
