Shock discovery 'wedged' inside walls of family home
The family had to hack into the drywall of their home to free the creature.
A family has made a shocking discovery after they "kept hearing noises" inside the walls of their home, with one of the residents eventually having to cut into their plasterboard to identify what was going on.
After hearing noises for over three days the family called a pest control expert, believing mice were behind the strange activity in their home. However after "no evidence of rodents" were found, a subtle change in the sound helped the residents finally uncover what is was.
"We started hearing meowing… we investigated, and it was clearly coming from the wall in my parents' closet," the woman wrote online. "We had to cut three holes in the drywall till we found her."
After hacking into their wall the fur of a tattered grey cat could be seen, with the feline completely "wedged" between the wall, the US family revealed.
"The kitty was a bit roughed up and stunk of urine... but we got her!" she said.

The family figured out that the cat — which is a known 'neighbourhood cat' — had pushed her way into their attic before accidentally falling down into a hole in the flooring, which slid down between the walls onto the ground floor.
After rescuing her, they were unsure how friendly the cat was as it was "hissing at us" but they were able to offer her comfort, and feed her alongside their own four cats before releasing her back outside.

The family have since covered up the holes and have warned their neighbours, with many "keeping an eye on her" as she roams around the area freely again fully recovered.
"There she is! She's doing great," the woman said, catching a glimpse of the cat walking outside the home days after releasing her.
