CURIOSITY ALMOST KILLED THIS CAT

Firefighters freed a curious cat trapped in a dumpster's drain hole in Fort Collins.

Members of Engine 6 and Rescue 4 moved fast, Poudre Fire Authority said. "Once one of the firefighters was able to get the kitten's ears safely through the drain hole the crews used soapy water as lubricant and were able to safely remove the kitten from the dumpster with no injuries," officials said. Released, the feline went back to the business of hunting mice. No injuries reported. [Photo: Poudre Fire Authority]
