His face says it all. Mistakes were made and it was a bad time.

One can only hope that lessons were learned. (My cats ask say probably not...)

u/nofishies 8d ago

My vet said this about my cat after she went for emergency surgery after snacking on a bunch of hair ties and getting her intestines tied up

Let’s hope she learned her lesson. Who am I kidding? We know she didn’t learn her lesson get rid of anything in the entire house she can chew on.

And of course there will be photographic evidence on the internet … forever. Poor John is in a total no win situation.

u/m3ngnificient 8d ago

Nah, it looks like he's saying "I'll do it again!"

u/KHaskins77 8d ago

“Does this get fixed by licking or walking backwards?!”

u/xaomaw 7d ago

"10/10 - will do again"

She’s fine XD. John got featured in the news here in UK as she’s a northern kitty. The owner was mortified, but John came out fine, if a bit more derpy.

Edit: She’s not actually northern and I’m a muppet. She’s actually a Bristolian kitty.

u/fearlessvault 8d ago

Not a northern kitty she’s from bristol!

u/missingmedievalist 8d ago

Thanks so much for the correction. I was going off my memory from the news report, but, as always, I should never trust my memory. You’d think I’d have learnt that in school already.

u/fearlessvault 8d ago

Hahah you’re all good! I only know because the firefighter in the photo is my best friends boyfriend 🤣

u/Mia_Chen007 9d ago

Poor little thing… he’s so cute and lovely … please give him a warm home

u/mizz_susie 8d ago

John isn’t a stray and even better John isn’t a male cat. He’s a she 😁

14

u/Mia_Chen007 8d ago

I’m so glad she has a family 🤣 but John is a she hahhahahaha totally didn’t expect that

43

u/UnilateralDecision 9d ago

Firemen are wonderful souls trained to do so many things. So happy for the kitty!

45

u/Shellrant42day 9d ago

Oh look at his little face. He’s thinking “I hope they get this pipe off, I’ll be a laughing stock at the social club, it would happen when it’s my night to host the raffle,Bingo & quiz night” 😳. Joking aside I hope John is fully removed from the pipe and safely tucked up at home.

u/TecN9ne 9d ago

"I SEENT SOME SHIT"

u/Magnitude_V1 9d ago

And he'll do it again without hesitation

u/[deleted] 9d ago

Show him free of the pipe. This is giving me so much second-hand stress for John!

u/Goddess_of_Carnage 9d ago

This is the best day a firefighter can ask for!!

Big Bad John might be a knucklehead but he’s not calling anyone a MF for saving him!!!

Good Job Fire Crew!!

Poor cat. He might chasing something on that pipe.

u/xsam93x 8d ago

And he would do it again

1

u/demonya99 8d ago

This is what an actual rescue looks like.

Not those disgusting YouTube videos with 3 camera setup from multiple angles to get views (money) from staged fake rescues, but with very real cat suffering.

u/throwawayhotoaster 8d ago

You dun goofed.

u/Apprehensive-Jury437 8d ago

cats are clean animals, and they have a strong sense of smell. This cat hopefully wasn't in a sewer drain pipe....

1

u/gaeruot 8d ago

So does he have to live with the drain pipe armor of shame for the rest of his life or are they gonna cut it off of him 😆

1

u/Rais93 8d ago

he looks damaged to his pride

u/Lokibaby01 8d ago

I’m so glad he was rescued though, poor thing is probably scared to death! and probably exhausted. Congratulations to the firefighters who dedicate their time in helping all life.

u/ParadoxicalFrog Tortoiseshell 8d ago

That look on his face like "Uhh... I may have made a slight miscalculation."

I expect this out of an 🍊but not a house panther … although wasn’t there something about curiosity and a kitty cat?

Yeah, I have no love for cats. However, it’s good to see the cat in good hands. I do wonder, exactly how much was that bill?
