Couple Smashes Hole in Shower to Rescue Cat Accidentally Walled in by Contractor

A woman in Henderson, Nevada, resorted to smashing open the shower wall that a repairman had fixed a few hours earlier after she realized her cat had been accidentally walled in by the worker.

In this video, which was uploaded to Winston the cat’s TikTok account, Rebecca Simpson and her boyfriend can be seen hammering down a freshly tiled wall.

“I found you, don’t worry,” Simpson can be heard saying as a little ginger face appears from behind the wall.

Simpson told Storyful that she looked all over the house, outside, and around the block for Winston after she noticed that the feline was missing. She said she started panicking when she could not find him anywhere.

“When I went back inside, I heard a faint cry in the bathroom but I didn’t know if I was imagining his meows,” she said. “I called out his name a few more times and heard him cry again near the shower.”

Simpson said that she shouted to get her boyfriend’s attention when she realized that the cat had been “tiled into the wall.” The pair then proceeded to tear the wall down and lure the feline out with a bag of cheese.

Simpson shared the story with a friend who captioned the video, “Thank goodness the cement hadn’t hardened.” Credit: @winstonlovescheese via Storyful
