Firemen just rescued my kitten!

There is a spot under our kitchen bench where a dishwasher would go. As we don't have one, its just an empty spot with a small hole that leads through the bench to under the sink where the dishwasher hose would go.
Last night Ralph, one of our kittens, got curious and got her head stuck through the hole. Me and my boyfriend tried to pull her out, then we covered her neck in lube but she was still stuck. We tried to cut the hole bigger but she had a huge panic with the noise the knife was making and we were scared she would injure herself.
So we called the fire brigade and they came in less than five minutes It took them half an hour to cut Ralph free.






Afterwards, asleep like nothing happened:

wow gload he is safe

So happy your kitty is ok, now you need to plug up that hole :-)

oh my...what an event.
Thank heaven ya got him out!
I bet those firemen were happy to do it...beats picking up drunks, and sticking themselves in fires.

glad to see your lil guy is okay

I'm so glad your kitty is ok, now you just have to plug up that hole :-)

Wow I always thought it was only in the movies and in cartoons that the fire service rescue pets. Now I've seen it for real.

Glad your little one is safe.

Sorry for the double post, it didn't show up the first time.

Awww any excuse to get the firemen over Now to bake them some cookies to say thank you I am sure it was the highlight of their shift. What an adorable rescue!

That is what I was thinking!!

So much for the idea that a cat's whiskers telling him where he can fit.

Glad to see they were able to help the little guy. Cookies are definitely in order.

Awww poor curious kitty! Yay for the big strong firemen that saved him! I could just hug them. Can I? Please?

The hole has been filled in, and we went down to the fire station and gave the guys that rescued Ralph a 6 pack of beer each

Firemen are so wonderful! Some of you may remember -- that's how Dorothy came to us: a neighbor said a strange cat had been stuck on the roof next door for three days, and five handsome firemen came out to get her down.

Now that she's found her forever home, maybe this is a good time to go visit those firemen again... just to deliver cookies, of course...

awww poor kitty...lucky to have u take care of him so well !!!!! prob would just like some R&R now...
