We’ll spare you the obligatory “nine lives” lede and just hit you with it straight up: a cat in Tucson is lucky to be alive after jumping off a 30-foot-tall utility pole.
The cat, “Kim,” climbed up the pole and stayed there for two days before taking the plunge as rescuers tried to get her down, as you can see in the video posted below.
Rescuers tried to catch the cat in a blanket, but to no avail — Kim hit the ground with a thud, but was OK.
Thankfully, cameras were rolling when Kim made her death-defying dive, and FOX’s Philadelphia affiliate posted the footage on its Web site. Check it out below.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
