HARTINGTON - Frank Carlson has a cat which he claims holds the world’s record for refusing to die.
One day last week Tabby either intentionally or otherwise stepped off of a platform into the inside rim of the big nine-foot fly wheel at the mill, and the centrifugal force of the revolving wheel held her close.
She just sat tight and waited for the wheel to stop, which was not until 6:30 in the evening. She was missed about nine in the morning, so was in the wheel about ten hours.
The big wheel makes 90 revolutions a minute, so she traveled over a million and a half feet. When the engine was stopped, Tabby jumped out, looking more like a ball of black cotton than anything else, and staggered around unable to stand. After a good bath and a few days’ rest, she picked up and is now as good as new, but she refuses to hang around the warm engine room at the mill.
