Kinta the cat uses up one of its nine lives

Saturday 10 September 2016

One very sour puss. One very relieved owner, as a cat named Kinta was rescued by firefighters today having being trapped around a domestic oil tank in Belmont Road.  

Kinta had been missing for five weeks but was reunited with its grateful owners after firefighters clawed the soggy moggy out of the oil tank, thus avoiding a real CATastrophe.  

At 15:22 the Fire Service received a call saying the cat’s owners had located their puss, but it was trapped in a domestic heating oil tank on Belmont Road. 

Four firefighters attended and a cat’s whiskers of a plan was developed so that Kinta wouldn’t suffer any further stress.  

The firefighters created an opening in a wall to allow the cat to get out. Kinta was freed shortly afterwards and reunited with his thankful owners.
