A mum told how she "hadn't slept for days" after her beloved pet cat got stuck up a tree close to train tracks.
Sheila Turner was distraught to learn 18-month-old Simba was high up in a large tree in Allerton on Friday, April 7. Simba is as a therapy cat for Sheila's 15-year-old son, who has autism, and the family was sick with worry for almost two days as the British shorthair seemed unable to get down from the tree which is close to a railway line.
Sheila told the ECHO: "I haven't slept for days, honestly we've been sick with worry and the cat was stuck in the blazing sun for well over 24 hours. With my son being autistic, he relies on the cat quite a lot."
