Sometimes cats can be real jerks – and this one is no exception.

Teetering on the edge of a balcony outside his owner’s apartment in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia, the unnamed feline looked trapped.

Firefighters were called after a postman spotted the animal and a crane sent up to help the little fella down. They even knocked out a bollard to fit the crane in.

But when rescuers were almost there, the cat showed his appreciation by turning around and slinking back under the rail.


Those watching below could be heard laughing in footage of the rescue after seeing the cat disappear from the edge in seconds. Super chill.



Despite the cat making his own way to safety, firefighters still climbed over the balcony to ensure the cat was safe.

The whole thing was captured by Reddit user Supermantitis and posted online.
