I work as a lifeguard and over the summer i work between 3 different outdoor pools. One day when I got to work my boss informed me that there was a kitten stuck in a vending machine in the mens bathroom. Being the crazy cat lover that I am all I heard was that I was going to go home with a cat. When i tell this story most people think he was stuck in the front part of the vending machine but in actuality he was in the back bottom part which was close to a wall. I soon realized that I couldn't reach him due to the positioning of the vending machine but a pool go-er helped me to move the vending machine, I wrapped my arm in a towel and pulled him out. He ended up being incredibly friendly and instantly started purring after his rescue. I called my mom and told her that i was bringing (another) cat home (she was not happy) and he got to hang out with a group of lifeguards for a few hours before coming home with me ( though quite a few children at the pool wanted to take him home)

It has been a year now and Tyrion acts like he's been part of the family forever. Our eldest cat could fair less of him but middle cat and our dog are best friends with Tyrion who loves to play with toys, sleep in the sun and sit in your lap (or in the sink).
