I'm not crazy, doctor. There really is a cat in my wall.
A Brooklyn man found himself locked up in a loony bin for four days after he smashed down walls in three apartments trying to rescue a fugitive feline.
Muth couldn't catch Rumi from that hole either, so he broke into a third apartment, and again started smashing walls.
Steiner [the superintendent] had as much success coaxing Muth out as Muth did with Rumi.
So the super called cops - who shipped Muth to a local psych ward.
Rumi remained in the catacombs of the condo - a former church. And the shrinks decided Muth was suffering from bats in his belfry.
The hospital records say he had a "bizarre delusion [he] was trying to save a cat of his friend," The Brooklyn Paper reported.

Some questions:
-Do you think a cat was worth it?
-Should this man do what most Americans believe they are entitled to do: sue?
-Do you think we have lost trust in our fellow man (would he have been trusted back in the 1930's)?
-Should the Brooklyn Paper apologize?
-What do you think about Muth's final statement in the link above?
That is strange. Cats in the walls of apartments are not unheard of but He should'nt have busted up three separate apartments just to rescue it!
