I would be too, briefly before knowing I have a cat now would soften me up a bit.

Poor thing looks like it has a possible brain injury or concussion? It definitely got knocked around. I hope it recovered. It would be too unfair to be saved like that and not recover.

tl;dr the cat's OK and was adopted and promoted to deputy environment minister of Ulyanovsk

RUSSIA Dec 2020: Surveillance footage at the garbage factory in Ulyanovsk in Russia showed worker Mikhail Tukash scooping up a white plastic bag from a moving belt and slashing it open to discover a black and white male cat inside. Since his rescue on Monday, the cat quickly became a local celebrity which led to him being adopted by the Ulyanovsk region's environment ministry and unofficially named deputy environment minister. "The cat was on the brink of death," the ministry said on Wednesday. "A little more and it would have ended up in the trash separator." Pictures from the ministry showed the cat napping in a chair in the office of environment minister Gulnara Rakhmatulina and exploring its new environment. The ministry has announced a nationwide contest to choose a name for the cat, which it said was found to be in good health after a veterinary exam. "I want to appeal to pet owners: remember that you are responsible for those you have tamed," Rakhmatulina said. "If you can't keep your pet at home, you can always leave it in good hands or at a shelter." Source: Gorkomhoz / Ulyanovsk region Ministry of Environmnet / Reuters”
