Because the internet was invented for sharing cat pics, we bring you “Today in Feline.” Only this one’s significantly more badass.
 Check out this shot taken by Ferndale’s Dustin DelBiaggio of local police and fire attempting to assist a seemingly helpless cat down from a telephone pole. A reenactment:

Dude in orange sweatshirt: “No really, you gotta come down.”

Super Cat: “Fine.”

That’s when Super Cat revealed his true self and took to the skies. According to Dustin DelBiaggio, post-jump “the cat seemed fine, it took off running toward the fairgrounds when it landed…”

We salute you, Super Cat. Come back again.

Yes, but what are going to name Ferndale’s mysterious flying cat? If you have a suggestion that is better than what we’ve been going with (“Super Cat”), please leave a comment.

UPDATE 1/29: Newly released photo evidence show’s Super Cat before his superfeline transformation. This is the equivalent of snagging a shot of Spiderman AND Peter Parker in the same day. Total amazeballs.

You’re hired, Mr. DelBiaggio. Well done.

  1. The dude was yelling at the cat earlier in the day.
    The cat got miffed and paid him back. Thats all.

    And Jessica, he is just fine.

  2. That’s me in orange and Josh Smith at the bottom of the ladder. I hadn’t even reached for the cat yet. I was just talking to it. It took one look at me, then the wire in front of it and dove like an Ninja in the Olympics going for the Gold!

  3. This is sad. What was the ‘firefighters’ plan when he got up there? Why wasn’t he wearing a helmet, or PPE? What about the guy holding the ladder? No helmet? Its sad that this FD can say ‘my grandpa fought fire, so I don’t need to play by the rules’. This is an embarrassing photo for any fire department.
