Siam Rath reported that Prachanukul rescue services were called after a cat fell off a roof and was impaled on railings at a house in Muang Ratchaburi, south central Thailand.

 

The black tomcat was meowing pitifully when help arrived. It had a pierced abdomen and left leg.

 

The rescue team were mindful to wear protective gloves as the animal would likely strike out in fear. 

 

He was cut free then transported to vets to have the spikes removed. Rescue men wrapped the animal tightly to stop it struggling to get free and perhaps further injuring itself.

 

The house owner said it was a stray. They heard its cries as they were watching TV. They thought it must have fallen off their roof.
