Cat found alive after 5 weeks under rubble
Quote:
A cat named Felix was found alive and well beneath the rubble of a six-storey building in Cologne that collapsed five weeks ago.
The cat's name is apt - Felix is Latin for lucky.

Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat

Whenever he gets in a fix, he reaches into his bag of tricks

You'll laugh so much your sides will ache

Your heart will go pitter pat

Watching Felix, the wonderful cat.
