Tabby cat Red survives dart to face

If your average cat has nine lives like the phrase states, Red just earned his 10th. The 11-year-old tabby short-hair mix owned by Carson Kelley and his girlfriend, Katelyn Halpin, in Coeur d’Alene took a 4.5-inch blowgun dart to the face on Thursday — and amazingly survived. The dart entered Red’s head near an eye at a slight angle. “It missed his brain by a half a centimeter,” Halpin said. “He’s one lucky cat.” Halpin said she’s unaware of anyone in their neighborhood near Bryan Elementary who would’ve targeted Red/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press.
