After four days workers were finally dispatched to bring her back down

But a local cat fan spread the message on social media, causing a furor

Her owner was told by two companies that they could not help

A Canadian cat who weathered four days up a high-voltage power line while vultures circled overhead was safely back in her owner's arms Thursday, after cat-loving campaigners got their claws out against on social media.

It's not known why Miss Kitty the one-year-old tabby ran to the top of the 60-foot pole in Princeton, British Columbia, on Monday.

What is known, reported Atlas Obscura, is that the pole was carrying 138,000 volts of electricity to a local mine - meaning its owners didn't want to shut it down. But they didn't account for the power of the internet's feline fanatics.

When Miss Kitty's owner, Bill Backhall, called government utility company BC Hydro to get the cat down Monday, but was told it was the responsibility of private company FortisBC. So he called them. But ultimately, he told Castanet.net, both companies said they could do nothing.

Local cat fan Natalia Bosley told Kelowna Now Thursday that she had also tried to help.

'I phoned BC Hydro and they said that they had put in a work order to have it dealt with,' she said. '[Wednesday] night BC Hydro told [Backhall] that they decided not to respond to the call.'

A spokesperson for private company FortisBC, which supplies electricity to Princeton using the BC Hydro pylon, told the site that they would typically wait for the cat to come down before intervening.

He also said he only heard about the situation Wednesday.

As the bureaucratic entanglements continued and neighbors piled up mattresses below the pole in case Miss Kitty fell, Bosley took action using her Twitter handle, @crazycat6911.

Enthusiast: Politician Dan Albas was one of many who spoke out in defense of Miss Kitty

She began pushing Miss Kitty's story online Wednesday, fielded questions from concerned observers and provided updates about the scene as they occurred.

But things really kicked off when she shared a YouTube video of the stranded cat.

The beleaguered pet was soon gifted with its own hashtag - #savethePrincetonBCcat - that attracted attention from across the country, including Canadian politician Dan Albas.

Finally, on Thursday evening, BC Hydro engineers made a trip from Salmon Arm, some 186 miles away, to save the pet.

Miss Kitty's four-day ordeal ended at 9:10pm as she was finally returned to Backhall - who was pictured by the Similkameen News Leader with a wide grin on his face.

And the vultures? They went hungry.
