The dangers of tilt-and-turn windows

The residents of rue de la Concorde, in Roubaix, could hear, on Saturday morning, the meows of a cat in distress. The animal found itself trapped in a tilt-and-turn window half-open, its head outside and its rear inside. His desire to walk on the roofs could have cost him his life without the intervention of the firefighters.

Due to the absence of the occupant of the house, it will have been necessary to deploy a large scale to get the kitty out of this annoying posture. According to the emergency services, the cat is fine, it was not injured. However, he can consider himself lucky. Firefighters point out that such windows can cause suffocation or rupture of the spine.
