A cat sadly had to be put down after it became impaled on a fence in Edinburgh despite desperate efforts to save it.
The cat was found stuck on a spike from a fence by a neighbour in Comely Bank who tried to comfort the pet while the Scottish SPCA rushed to the scene on Monday afternoon.
Marie-Claire Longden, who came to the rescue, recognised the cat as local to Comely Bank Street as she'd seen it many times before in the street's communal garden. She alerted the SSPCA to the emergency immediately.
