Kitten rescued from underground pipe

KAMLOOPS — The owner of a sewer and drain cleaning company in Kamloops can now add kitten rescuer to his resume.

     Dan Groess, owner of A Groess Underground sewer and drain services, says he responded to a call Monday about a tiny black cat stuck in an underground pipe, and when he used an inspection camera to get a look, the kitten began following the camera up the pipe.

     But the pipe became too steep for the cat to move forward, so Groess tied an old T-shirt onto the end of the camera and the co-operative kitten grabbed hold with its claws.

     When he pulled the camera out, the kitten came with it: hot, hungry and thirsty, but otherwise O-K. (The Canadian Press)
