Hello everyone, thanks for coming by to see me today. I know you all know what a lousy week we had here with Brian departing for the Rainbow Bridge. Could things get worse? Well, almost. Fortunately for me, a Catastrophe was avoided with the help of who we are now calling Macy’s Heroes. What went wrong? Here’s the culprit…
Can you tell what that thing is? It’s the under-part of a recliner that makes the thing go up and down. There was a recliner in the big bedroom that wasn’t used by the peeps, only by us cats. It was a Simon hidey place under it and Seal used to nap on the seat part.
Wednesday afternoon the quiet was disrupted when I got my right front paw and claw caught in that contraption. I was screaming bloody murder, pulling trying to get my paw and claw free. The Dad said it was like one of the horrible things on the TV where a wild animal gets caught is a paw trap.
There was no getting me loose. The Dad was holding me trying to keep me still. I bit and scratched him (yes, he went and got meds for that). The Mom called 911 and the fire department came. We had four firemen and the fire chief here to help me. They worked as quickly as they could. They methodically took the recliner apart and freed my paw. They will forever be known here as Macy’s heroes.
The Dad took me to the Vet as soon as the firemen left. I had x-rays and fortunately nothing was broken, just some soft tissue damage. My right front paw is swollen. I got an anti-inflammatory shot, Gabapentin for pain, and an anti-inflammatory pill pack. All in all I’m feeling pretty lucky.
The recliner is no more.
I need a rest. Have a fun Sister Saturday everyone. Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
OMG! That was so scary! I am glad your heroes came to the rescue and you had no serious injuries. I hope your paw is soon better, Macy.
OMC!!! That was a VERY scary thing that happened to you. Wow, the fire dept came?? Heroes indeed!!
POTP for your ouchie paw, Macy!
Oh Macy how AWFUL! Thank heavens you didn’t get a broken bone or worse. The Fire Department came to the rescue and I know they truly are heroes for so many people every single day. Hope that paw is feeling better today – REST!
Hugs, Teddy
OMC!! Macy, what a horrible thing to have happened! You poor sweetie, I’m sending you lots of healing vibes. Cripes almighty, you’ve all had the WORST week. 2023 has been awful in so many ways, for so many of us. Kudos to your heroes, they really are aptly named. Purrs to you all from my angels.
Sheeesh there girl!!!!! That goodness for those guys eh!!! That was scary.
OMD, what an awful thing to have happen to you, Macy! Thank goodness the fire department arrived and helped you out. We send you tons of healing vibes for your poor sore paw♥
Macy, what a horrible thing to happen. A horrible thing. It makes the rest of us afraid that it may happen to us as well. Having a recliner is not worth that! You poor girl!. Lots of love and I hope you feel better. XXXXX
Oh my dear Macy. What a catastrophe and thank goodness for the fire department being willing to come and help a kitty out of what could have been a very life-threatening position. You simply have to be a little more careful when you’re climbing and playing. And Poor Dad, scratches and bites.
Oh, Macy … we kind-a think Angel Brian was also there, watching over you ‘n’ Dad to be sure neither of you were badly injured during this awful event … of course the fire-angels-on-earth were heroes, coming to your rescue and we give them a big round of applause. To share: June’s famous polka dot chair is a recliner (still with us, of course). At around age one, and still being small, she literally got fully inside it. All efforts to help her out were to no avail. No teasing with food, treats … could not “pull” her out due… Read more »
My gosh, cute photos. But that must be a scary experience.Hope you are well.
OMC! How awful and totally scary! Thank cod 911 was called and you were set free! we can’t imagine how upsetting that was for the whole household there. So happy you are OK now.
OMC! Macy, I’m glad you were rescued and are okay. What a scary experience!
this is so horrible i had trouble reading it after i saw that contraption. God bless the firemen who came to rescue you. You are my first ever fireman rescue from recliner story. have seen many rescue from tree or rooftops. I am so sorry your paw is swollen and glad you are not permanently injured. Beaus daddy got one of his electric planes in the top of a oak tree, accross the street was the fire dept. he walked over and asked if anyone could get his plane down. the fire Captain and two men drove a ladder truck… Read more »
forgot to say I am sorry dad got all beat up, we know you did not mean too
Gosh…my heart almost jumped out while reading this…so glad that firefighters set you free, Macy.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Macy my darling sweet little girl. I am so very sorry for every one. I can only imagine how frightened you all were. They Firemen are your heroes. I am very thankful Dad got meds for his injuries…we all know how quickly they and get serious. I am truly thankful that your paw is ok and that the monster recliner is gone. We have a huge and very couch with a recliner on each end. YEARS ago Milky-way once hid in it when I was trying to get him in his PTU. I had to postpone his check up.… Read more »
Oh my!! I’m so glad you’ll be okay! And now with the recliner gone, y’all all will be safe! I know your Dad and Mom are relieved that nothing worse happened! And really good thinking on your Mom’s part to call the Fire Department!! Thankfully, the Z Kids don’t fit under our recliners so I don’t have to worry about a similar accident. You take it easy little one!!
Sounds like Dad might need a rest after that as well. Thankful for Macy’s Heroes!
Oh noes, Macy!
Thank you, nice firepeople.
Much too scary, and here’s hoping your sore paw makes a quick recovery.
Oh dear Macy, That was lucky ! Nothing is broken. I think your brother, Angel Brian did take care of you. Huggie my bro and me are sending our best healing purrs to you.
Hugs to your fameowly

Holy Carp…that had to be scary. We’re glad you are all okay.
Good morning, Miss Macy. Sure am glad you and Dad are okay, and your fire dept. heroes were there for you in your distressing time of need. Dad and Mom were your heroes too, each playing a part, and I have no doubt brother Brian was looking out for you as well. You are a lucky and beloved girl! Your portrait on the top is beautiful.
Macy, I’m so so glad you came through that with minor problems! Those guys really are heroes! Purrs for your fast recovery!
I am so glad you and your Dad are ok. This certainly was not a good week for all of you. Take care!
Oh noes Macy I am so so sorry for all the ouchies…for you and for your Dad!
We are recalling that Maxwell had a close call too recently when he took a tumble off the stairs.
We are glad neither of you got hurt. Be careful Macy 😸😺
That is so scary, Macy! We are glad you are okay, and thank goodness for Macy’s Heroes. And that Dad got treated and meds for those wounds. XO
OMG YOU POOR THING MACY!!!!!! I am sooooooo happy you are ok!!!! I refuse to buy recliners after many, many years ago my Angel Bobo got trapped INSIDE OF ONE!!!! Thankfully we were able to get him out but I will never, ever have a recliner again. That was nice of the firemen to come out!! We called them once when we thought kitten Roary was trapped under our china cabinet. Of course he came out right before they got here. You had to all be so scared! Glad Dad is ok as well, that had to be beyond traumatic.… Read more »

Oh Macy, what a traumatic experience. And we feel bad for your poor Dad who had to go get help for the result of your trauma. We all say good riddance to that chair!
EEEEEEK!!! What a scary accident! Glad that chair is history. Thankfully your fire department was way more helpful than ours would have been. You heal fast sweet Simon.
We’re glad that had a sort of happy ending, Macy – except for your sore paw.
I’m so sorry! Bless the fire department for coming to the rescue.
You poor baby, you and dad both. I’m glad they were able to get you out and nothing was broken.
Oh my goodness, you poor thing! And your poor mom and dad! Those firemen are true heroes. Purrs things calm down for all of you.
I am glad you are OK. And I am glad the recliner is no more. XO
Thank goodness you are ok. So glad the firemen could help!
Oh wow, the last thing your pack needed was that, but it wasn’t your fault. Those recliners eat cats.
OMC we could feel your pain, sweet Macy. Thank Cat it ended well🙏Healing Pawkisses especially for you, sweet girl and some for the shock for all of you too🐾😽💞
oh my goodness that was horrible! glad all is well now.
Oh, Macy! What a terrible thing to happen! We are sending healing vibes to help your poor paw get better, sweetheart.
Oh, my! I have never had to call for help yet, though almost did when Tilly got caught in a tree. How nice that the fire department responded. What a rough week for you all! ~hugs~ I’m so glad everyone is okay.
Charlee: “Bad old recliner trap! Hooray firemen!”
Lulu: “We are big fans of firemen here! They come and take care of things when we get rattlesnakes in the yard, not to mention that time they came and helped Dada out when he really needed it!”
Yikes, yikes, and yikes again!!! That must have been so very scary for you, Macy. We are so glad your peeps were able to act quickly and get you the help you needed. We hope that paw is doing so much better. Your poor family had quite the week.

I read this the other day and just haven’t had a chance to reply. I’m so very glad you came out of that with just a bit of swelling. Getting trapped is no joke.
Oh my goodness, what a terrible ordeal. You are lucky to not have been more seriously injured. Hopefully your Dad is healing quickly.
OMC, what a terrible ordeal. We’ve heard of the rescue peeps getting cats out of trees but never a recliner. We are so happy you were not seriously injured. And we know your dad does not blame you for injuring him. Sending POTP that you both heal quickly. You sure look ferocious in that one photo.

Holy catfish, what a story! We are so happy you are alright. One would never think it would be so hard to get you free again, but wow! So glad you are alright and nothing was broken.
