Pole cat rescued — again

A CAT with a head for heights has been rescued from the top of a 25-foot telegraph pole — again.

The three-year-old tabby and white cat — known as Nasher — was discovered at the top of the pole by worried residents in Llanrumney, Cardiff.

RSPCA animal collection officer Gary Lucas said: “The residents contacted us, as they were really worried about Nasher and it was raining heavily.

“A crew from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service came down and, using a specialist ladder, they were able to bring Nasher to safety.

“They did a great job and we’d like to thank them for their assistance. Luckily, he was OK. He was reunited with his owner, who was delighted.”

Mr Lucas said Nasher has had to be rescued from the pole previously.

“Following this incident, Nasher’s owner is going to contact BT to see if there are preventative measures to help stop him from doing this again,” he added.
