A cat that was trapped in an electric recliner after its tail got badly stuck has been rescued. Bella needed urgent care from vets and was crying out in pain as fire crews made a quick dash to help free the three-year-old rescue after she disappeared inside the sofa.
Owners Caroline and Nigel Lancaster, from Hampshire, were horrified when they saw Bella trapped and tried to get her out themselves. But her tail had wrapped around the mechanism, so they urgently called in emergency services.
Following a delicate 90-minute operation, Bella was finally freed and taken to a Vets Now clinic in Farnham. Sadly, she had to have her badly injured tail amputated - but she has since made a remarkable recovery.
