A man surnamed Zheng found the cat in his bathroom on Monday, but could not pull the feline out because the pipe was too narrow. He eventually called fire fighters. The fire fighters had to cut the pipe, with Zheng's consent, before it could be released. Zheng said he thought the cat had probably chased a mouse into the pipe and got stuck.

Shaggy dog DNA story fails to convince court 10/17/2007 A dog owner surnamed Ma applied to the court for a DNA test on his pet after it was accused of biting his niece. The young woman, who lives in a large courtyard with her extended family in Beijing, had gone to court seeking 20,000 yuan ($2,500) in compensation after claiming the dog bit her leg a year ago leaving an ugly scar. Ma, however, told Shijingshan District Court he witnessed the incident and prevented further injury by pulling off the dog, which was not his own. The presiding judges said Ma needed to provide further proof of his dog's innocence, at which point Ma suggested a DNA test. Since no swab was taken at the time of the incident a DNA test would not prove anything. The court adjourned proceedings. (Beijing Youth Daily) ..............................
