DUBLIN FIREFIGHTERS HAVE rescued a cat from drowning after it got into difficulty on the banks of the Liffey this afternoon.
Members of the Dublin Fire Brigade trained as rescue swimmers went out on a boat to save the cat, who was stranded out near Burgh Quay.
You can watch filmed footage of the rescue here:
The Tara Street firefighters were able to place what they called “the soggy moggy” into a pet carrier and pass the “feisty feline” over to the care of DSCPA.
The black and white beauty doesn’t look too happy, but what cat would be after being submerged in water?
Good thing the well-known cat-rescuers, aka firefighters, were on hand to pluck the cat from harm’s way (although this time it wasn’t from a tree).

A happy ending to a potential CATastrophy
Why would ya bother.
@Darragh: why would you not? Unless you get your jollies watching animals die.. or to put it another way.. go fk yourself.
@Darragh: because it’s a life you moron
@Darragh; says plenty about you pal.
Anybody who’s wondering, Darren has 13 red thumbs as of now..
Because they’re decent people Darragh, that’s why.
@Darragh: you are a loser. A big pathetic loser. Why did your parents bother with you. What a waste of oxygen….
@Darragh: To quote David Hogan in the first post above
“Only when man has pity on all living things is he truly noble.”
Do you actually understand what this means and what the implications are? And what it says about you? It looks like most understand this part of being human.
Darragh is now at 20 red to 17 Green. Of course with the “downdated” version of the app it just looks like 17 people agree. Bring back the balance.
@Darragh: tw@thead. Wasn’t looking for the red thumbs back, but (nuts like you…
Soggy moggy or wet puss?
I cannot tell you what my first thought was. But it is what we all thought when we read this.
Because its a sentient being…that’s why
Fool….
Why would you bother?
Maybe because it’s a sentient being, just like you, who feels love, sadness and yes, fear, just like you.
Maybe because he deserves as much respect as any other being, human included.
And as such has a right to a life of safety, peace and order. Just like you.
That’s why you would bother.
Good enough for you?
have your say
