Siamese cat survives three frigid days in snowbank on P.E.I.
December 31, 2004
Siamese cat survives three frigid days in snowbank on P.E.I. SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. (CP) - Colby is one cool cat. The Siamese spent three bone-chilling days buried in a snowbank in Summerside - and lived to meow about it. Fourteen-year-old Colby wandered off from his home in the east end of Summerside during Monday's blizzard. There was a wind chill of about -27. On Wednesday, the cat's owner heard a faint meow from a snowbank next to her home and there, inside, was Colby. "I heard the noise and then there was a little, tiny smidge of a hole," said Marlene Cameron. "It must have been an air hole for him to breathe. "And I just dug down and pulled him out. I'll tell you, I was awfully glad to see that big, brown, furry face!" She said she bundled Colby up and took him to the vet for a checkup. The feisty feline is now doing just fine. |

Being buried in the snowbank no doubt saved his life. I've read that huskies will dig a hole in the snow to sleep in. They're sheltered from the elements and their body heat is held in.
