Full title:
Cat sparks $7,500 rescue mission after getting stuck on bridge six days; mission fails, pet gets bored and wanders home
Hatty, 5, became trapped on the Royal Albert Bridge, which connects Plymouth and Saltash, on Friday, and firefighters spent around five hours trying to get her down in an ordeal costing $7,500. The train system which operates the bridge even planned to close the tracks to rescue her, while the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) was also present.
But when firefighters had decided to give up for the day, vowing to return Thursday, the cat, who had been missing for two weeks before turning up on the bridge, returned home on Wednesday night, according to the Plymouth Herald.
Kirsty Howden, Hattys owner, said the cat walked into the garden of her home in Saltash.
She said the cat had just strolled past fire and media crews. ...
She is a bit skinny and smelly, very vocal and has now headed upstairs and put herself to bed.

When did this get all twisted?
Probably in the sixties when we realized
we needn’t be assholes about the lives
of non-humans.

The same stupidity occurs with cats in trees.
How many cat skeletons do you see high in trees or on bridges?

On “Mysteries Of The Abandoned” we just saw an episode on the Carnon Viaduct, also engineered by Brunel. He was an amazing man.
