HALP!

Daily Mail UK
A cat today sparked a full-scale rescue after he chased a mouse into a three inch gap between two garages - and got stuck for two hours.

Despite his 14 years, clumsy moggy Bert dashed down the narrow crack in pursuit of vermin but found he was too wide to get out the other end.

His worried owners Michael and Glenys Howe found him after hearing his desperate miaows for help and spotting his green eyes in the tiny three inch crevice.

Firefighters rushed to the scene and initially planned to lift Bert out with a net but instead were forced to smash a hole in the wall of one of the garages to free him.

After a terrifying two-hour ordeal, the fluffy black cat was plucked to safety and following a check over with the vet he was taken home to sleep it off.


Relieved Mr Howe, 64, today said Bert had used up at least one of his nine lives in his ambitious hunting strategy.

The retired cosmetics salesman said: "The point where he ran in is about 4 inches wide but it's only about 2.5 inches at the other end - no wider than a cigarette packet.

"He must have been chasing a mouse or something and didn't realise that he was that much smaller than his prey - not very clever for a cat of his years.

"I'm so relieved Bert's alright now. Perhaps if we hadn't fed him in the morning he would have been slender enough to have got through the gap."
