JAKARTA - Who would have thought, the cat, which was originally hit by a disaster and had to receive this stitches, even managed to receive an annual award.

This black cat has the namejink. The award he won was entitled 15th Annual Hambone Award. He managed to beat dogs to parrots.

They are the pet cats of the couple Kaitlyn and Reid who live in an apartment in New York City, United States. Realizing that they have pets, this couple has one special rule.

"When you re-fold the sofa, you have to make sure you're not under the sofa," Reid said in a video about the award, quoted by CNN Oct. 10.

This story begins when Reid's parents come to visit and stay at the couple's apartment by sleeping on the sofa bed.

As soon as they arrived, Reid informed her parents of the special regulation regarding thetensile.

Everything went well until his parents prepared to go to the airport. When Kaitlyn and Reid were still asleep, his father and mother folded the sofa they slept in without looking down first.

"Something has happened and we are very sorry," Reid's stepmother said, explaining her trapped under the sofa.

"Something has happened to you. We have to immediately take this cat to the veterinarian," he recalled.

OClastic injuries did not threaten his life, but the black cat required stitches. He also now has a phobia after the incident.

"He has a certain phobia of anything folded," Reid said in the video.

Meanwhile, the Hambone Awards pet award program was started by Nationwide Insurance, when a dog developed mild hypothermia after being trapped in a refrigerator and eating whole ham.

"When they opened the refrigerator door, they found him and his bones," Heidi Sirota, president of pet insurance and chief pet officer Nationwide, told CNN.

"This inspires us to create Hambone Awards for the most ridiculous medical claims we have, for pets we insure," Sirota said.

It's not easy forIMus to become a champion, as he also has a tough competitor, with the finalists who are his opponents, among others, a Laborador who made an unexpected leap from a 36-foot bridge, a parrot that was slammed into the door, to a puppy wrapped in a cell phone charger cable.

It is known that Hambone's winning family received trophies, gift cards, and opportunities to donate to their preferred pet charity.

"We highlight these stories, because this shows how valuable pet protection is through pet insurance," said Sirota.
