Curiosity almost got the better of a daredevil cat stranded on a 60ft-high ledge on a building. After going missing overnight, Chio was eventually spotted nestling into a window corner after he escaped from an apartment in Salford last week.
He had spent the night napping on the dangerously-high ledge on Wilton Place, off the A6 Chapel Street, and firefighters were called in to bring him down safely.
Emily Davis, who was looking after Chio for a friend, contacted the RSPCA in distress and an inspector arrived at the scene, who alerted Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. The fire crew first put up a ladder and tried to coax the frightened cat over with food.
