A cat that was trapped in an elevator hoistway was recently rescued by one of the mechanics from Colley Elevator Company in Bensenville. Sources at the building reported that the animal had jumped out of its owner s hands and managed to squeeze through the elevator s door.
Upon inspection, mechanic Sean Hannon noted evidence of a cat, such as paw prints on the elevator car tops, but could not locate it. He checked both the elevators pits and rode on top of the cars to meticulously check each floor. Finally, Hannon was alerted to its presence when the cat sneezed.

Some want it to go further this time around.
New Zealand is one of just seven countries globally which permits commercial greyhound racing. Using animals in entertainment like this is pretty archaic in this day and age, animal rights group SAFE NZ chief executive Debra Ashton said.
The report had 20 recommendations for sporting body Greyhound Racing New Zealand to implement.
Those recommendations included improvements to the sport s transparency and record-keeping, ramping up inspections of kennels, and stopping so many dogs from being euthanised, by looking to rehome them instead.
Racing Minister Grant Robertson said he was unhappy with how the sport had been tracking.
