Curiosity almost killed the cat in the southern Polish city of Rzeszow. A cat was trapped in a pipeline for at least 10 days before he was rescued from the ordeal that could cost him one of nine lives.
According to the official news agency, the People’s Action Party, local authorities learned that on October 24, a cat might be stuck in a pipe used by the city’s heating system. He was rescued on Tuesday due to the efforts of the fire department and staff. From a heating and water supply company.
Artur Gernand from the office of the mayor of Rzesow told the PAP that the cat was trapped between the heating pipe and the surrounding protective devices.
“Tuesday (rescuers) managed to bend the protective element backwards to increase the space, thanks to the cat, it can go out,” Gernand was quoted as saying.
After escaping, the cat was taken in by the animal charity Fundacja Felineus, named Rurek after the Polish word for pipe. The foundation said on Friday that he had left the hospital to take care of the cat.
