UPI – A feline, displeased with a rescue attempt from a utility pole, made a daring leap captured on camera.
Canadian resident Alice Reid shared the story of her cat, Coco, who was likely chased up the pole by a neighbourhood dog.
After spending two hours atop the pole and crying for help, utility workers initiated a rescue.
Reid recorded the event, capturing the moment when Coco skillfully evaded the workers’ grasp by taking a flying leap from the pole’s summit.
“I never, in a million years, thought that he was going to jump on his own,” Reid told CTV News.
Reid said Coco took off running after landing on the ground and later showed up at home, miraculously uninjured.
“He came up the step and went on in,” she said. “Then he lied down on the floor and started washing himself like, you know, nothing ever happened.”
Reid said the daredevil cat is on house arrest for the time being.
“He’s crying to get outdoors and I’m trying to keep him in,” she said. “He’s going to have to get used to being in the house more.”
