The Kitten on The Bench During Hurricane Ian
The kitten was sitting on a bench in the middle of hurricane Ian, while flood waters rose.
Federico posted the video which pissed off a number of viewers that had hoped that he would have put the phone down and try and rescue the poor kitten.
After the backlash, Federico deleted the video and he didn’t post any updates. He finally posted an update saying, the cat swam away from the building before he and his colleagues could bring it to safety.
But now a Producer at WINK is tweeting that the cat was rescued and that she is adopting it. She posted about it, and she REALLY made sure to say how Federico was really worried about the kitten.
There are many that are not buying this story and a number of people think it is not even the same cat that was on the bench in the storm.
It certainly seems odd how much she talks about Federico in her post about the cat.
What is also interesting is looking at Federico’s Facebook, I don’t see any post about the cat being rescued.
Many think that station employees are lying to try and save face.
I have no clue if this is the kitten on the bench, I would love to think that it is, but I honestly don’t know.
Although Federico did not post any update about the kitten being rescued by the Producer that I saw, he did post a picture of the whiteboard he is using for weather grahics. Apparently, the storm washed away his shirt and pants.
I do know that posting video of the kitten trying to survive the storm was a very lame attempt at trying to get some social media clout.
I hope he’ll use better judgment next time and do the right thing.
