Man Makes Daring Cat Rescue
(Higgins, New York) — Dan Raskin
became a neighborhood hero
Monday night when he came to
the rescue of an unlucky mother
cat. Neighbors on Barrington Street
spotted the cat at the top of a utility
pole about 4 p.m. They called the
utility company, which promised to
send out a crew to rescue the
frightened puss. When no one
showed up and snow began falling,
Raskin went into action. Using his
mountain-climbing gear, he scaled

the two-story pole. He nabbed the
cat by the back of its neck and
dropped it safely into a quilt being
held like a net by four other
neighbors. The cat was happily
returned to its owners who
rewarded Raskin
with a macaroni
and cheese dinner
and one of the
cat’s kittens.
