Sonny Gibson's three-story office building was demolished this month by the tornado that swept through Mayfield, Kentucky. Nine days later, his cat Madix was found unscathed in a hole beneath the rubble.
, Sonny “Hoot” Gibson was standing in the rubble when he thought he heard a faint meow.
It instantly gave him hope that his office cat, Madix, who hadn’t been seen since before the storms hit, was alive. Gibson said he had tried to find the solid black cat with yellow eyes that liked to greet customers of his rental business, but had given up after a few days. “I don’t know how anything could’ve survived not just the tornado but the destruction that came along with it,” he said.“I thought I heard a meow, and I thought my mind’s playing tricks on me so I hollered his name out, and he meowed again,” Gibson said.The noise was stifled and he couldn’t locate Madix immediately so he called some employees who came to help search. Soon after, they found the cat in a hole beneath the rubble.
“It was just an incredible feeling to put him in my arms,” Gibson said. “If cats actually have nine lives, he probably used up about eight of them in that nine-day period.”
