One Athens kitten rang in the New Year with a near-catastrophic event.
A YouTube video portrays the whole kit and caboodle of a rescue event, showing an unidentified man scaling a tall, white pine tree and delivering the feline to safety.
Trapped atop a tall tree with winds whipping at more than 50 miles per hour, the cat could be heard crying out for help over the noise of the winds. The rescue was captured on film by the rescuer himself.
Hopefully, this little kitten has made a resolution to keep its paws on the ground in the New Year.
