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.
