Rescuing a kitten probably wasn't how this group of police and firefighters were planning to spend their Thanksgiving.

But for over three hours on Thursday, a team of rescuers in El Cajon, California dedicated their time to saving a cat stuck in an electrical plastic pipe.

According to KFMB/CNN, the kitten's cries were heard around 4 a.m. on Thursday, when the cat fell several feet down the pipe.

KABC reports that multiple methods were attempted to draw out the kitten, but ultimately they saved the cat with a makeshift catchpole made of wire and cables.

He reminds me of my Oreo, another black and white Tuxedo cat.

7. Must have been the firefighters. We all know no cop would actively work to save a kitten.

Don't we?
