Cats really do have nine lives, Ruth Bogenreif of Nebraska took a look outside in her back yard and witnessed a terrifying event. A cat was taking a drink out of a heat birdbath when something apparently startled it causing the cat to jump.
The cat jumped right out of the bird bath, landed on a chain link fence and instantly froze to it due to the sub-zero degree temps.
"(She) was hanging with (her) paws frozen to the fence. (Her) head, the back of (her) neck, was in the water," Bogenreif said. She removed the cat from the fence with warm water and took it to a shelter where the cat is now recovering.
