Cat trapped under floorboards survived for weeks by drinking beer
- In Deal, Kent, the cat Leia spent nearly three weeks confined beneath floorboards before being discovered and rescued on May 4, 2025.
- Leia wandered into a neighbor's home undergoing renovations, where builders tiled the floor shut with her trapped beneath.
- The family spent $1,000 hiring a pet detective and distributed leaflets to find Leia, who was missing during that time.
- Neighbors heard Leia's cries muffled by building noise, cut a floor opening, and found her dishevelled near a half-drunk can of beer.
- Leia lost a third of her weight, was dehydrated but survived possibly by drinking beer, eating small animals, insects, or condensation, though her survival remains uncertain.
