Way to go, firefighters! You really outdid yourselves on this one. I mean, sure, saving human lives is great and all, but there’s nothing quite as satisfying as rescuing a cat with its head stuck in a spare tire.
The incident took place in Washington, where apparently cats are just roaming the streets looking for spare tires to get themselves in a bind. Luckily for this little feline, the local fire department was on hand to save the day.
As we all know, firefighters are not trained to deal with emergencies involving spare tires and cats, but they rose to the challenge anyway. They spent over an hour carefully cutting through the rubber to free the kitty from his unusual predicament.
When asked about the rescue, one firefighter had this to say, “It was tough, but we knew we had to do everything we could to save this cat’s life. We may not have been prepared for a situation like this, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t up to the task.”
What a hero.
Of course, the real question on everyone’s mind is, how did this cat get his head stuck in a spare tire in the first place? We can only assume that he was trying to reenact a popular cat video he saw on YouTube, or perhaps he was just feeling adventurous that day.
Either way, it’s comforting to know that we have brave men and women out there who are willing to risk their lives to save the lives of others, even if that other is a cat with its head stuck in a tire.
So, to the firefighters of Washington, we salute you. You may not have chosen the easiest profession, but you have certainly chosen the most rewarding. Keep on doing what you do best – saving lives, one cat stuck in a tire at a time.
