Firefighters rescue cat. Not news.
Firefighters rescues cat with thermal technology. Different story.
That’s the angle that grabbed headlines Tuesday for Alameda County firefighters in San Leandro who used a thermal imaging camera to locate a trapped cat inside of a wall before strategically cutting around the heat reading and freeing the kitten. The cat was in the attic before it fell, wedging itself between wall studs.
Down on their hands and knees, three firefighters helped pull the small feline from the wall and then wrapped it in a white blanket.
The firefighters decided to document their high-tech rescue on Instagram.

It was an official Rescue Cat employed by Alameda County Firefighters to operate it.

Ugh.
Don’t remind me.
That little sucker is in massive lockup, now.
Though he stills tries, after all these years, he has not managed to pick *this* lock.

I had never prayed for a snake before. I prayed for him, and you too! I’m glad there was a happy ending.
Wanderlust. It happens.

Sometimes, late at night, I could almost swear I hear a tiny little harmonica, playing the blues....

He has PTSD. Poor thing.
Probably qualifies for special assistance from the state.

What was a cat doing with a thermal imaging camera? Hunting meeses, of course! Cats these days are very resourceful.
