Here's one that mimi brought to my attention.
It's an inspirational feline tale...
.......
Duluth, Minnesota-AP -- A cat found out in the Minnesota cold has earned the name "Frosty."
A man found the four-year-old gray-and-white tomcat frozen to the ground in Duluth on January sixth. It had been about 20 below that night.
One eye was frozen shut, and he had open wounds on his head and neck.
Kelly Johnson works at the city animal shelter. She says she didn't think the cat would live. But she gave the dehydrated cat fluids intravenously, and wrapped him in warm towels straight out of the dryer. She repeated the process every two hours, and came in during the evenings to check on him.
The cat didn't move for three days. But now he's O-K.
Frostbite left wounds on his ears and burned away patches of fur.
But animal workers say the cat seems to be grateful for all the attention, and they expect to find a permanent home for him soon.

Stories of survival against odds are always uplifting. And there are some details in this one that are, indeed, "curiously entertaining."
