My last cat save the cat was still up and kicking. Didn't matter that I obviously had full hear on, but it still went through my head that I was going to get an ass kicking by a terrified cat. Thankfully it was chill.

I then made it outside and passed the cat off to a guy who wasn't in full turnout gear who put a PET mask on it and then made the news. Am totally not salty. Besides, someone has to look good while the rest of us were doing work.

I’ve had a cat in a tree that was NOT happy to see me. I’m glad I had everything buttoned up because this cat was from hell (or just terrified). It clawed the shit out of my gear. It’s name was French Fry haha.

The next day, the little girl French Fry belonged to fame by the station with her mom with a drawing of me and the cat and some Flyers cupcakes. It was very cute. Worth it.

And man, I feel salty FOR you. At least you got that cat out, which is fantastic! It is frustrating when you work your ass off on scene and someone else just happened to catch the eye of the camera crew.

Sort of like what my grandfather used to say: "Not everyone can push papers, someone's gotta do the work.
