Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It happened again: A cat got stuck on a pole. And TV news crews showed up to livestream.
“It seems to be cat season out here,” Annie DeGraw, an APS spokesperson, told the assembled camera crews. “There’s been cats on poles all over.”
This time, the cat – a different one than last time – climbed up a light pole at 30th Street and Van Buren. APS crews showed up with a cherry-picker and pried the cat off the pole. The cat did not seem happy about it, and meowed a lot before running off into a dirt lot.
