Previously, rescue personnel also saved a cat trapped on a utility pole
A video capturing the cat’s rescue on the utility pole was posted on Facebook by a user named Reid, leaving viewers both on edge and surprised.
According to the video, Coco, Reid’s 3-year-old tabby cat, escaped from a home in Dildo, Canada, and climbed onto the utility pole, meowing loudly. Upon discovering her pet in distress, Alice Reid had to call for assistance.
In the video, you can see the cat perched precariously at the top of the high utility pole. Later, a rescue worker in protective gear is seen climbing the pole to rescue the cat.
However, before the rescuer could reach the top, the cat suddenly leaped, jumping straight down from the pole to the ground.
After landing, Coco was seen lying down and beginning to groom herself as if nothing had happened.
