Sonic the cat trapped in stairs in Ashford
Sonic the cat became stuck in a staircase
Sonic the cat forgot she wasn’t a kitten anymore when
she got stuck in the staircase of her South Ashford home.
As a kitten, Sonic used to nip in and out of the hole, but now
she is one-year-old she has grown and - curious cat - found she
could not get out of the hole.
Firefighters were called and they described it as a "difficult
rescue" due to the cat’s position.
Crews were called to the house in Bornefields just after 1.15pm
and used hand tools to remove the bottom stair to help Sonic
escape. Sonic already had stitches as she had been spayed and was
due at the vet that day for her check-up.
Firefighter Fred Ambler did all the hard work while firefighter
Kerry Mitchell, pictured below, stroked Sonic to keep her
calm. She was released unharmed 40 minutes later.
