A cat is in danger at a train station - and thus ensures that a train cannot leave.
Your rescue takes several hours.
A
cat
causes a
hustle and bustle
at a
train station in London
.
A train cannot leave because of the animal.
A strange rescue operation begins.
Frankfurt / London - At least every owner of a velvet paw will know that cats sometimes choose unusual places to sleep or relax.
Nothing seems too uncomfortable for
cats
.
In the narrow cupboard on the clean laundry, on the computer keyboard, in boxes that are much too small - the house tigers feel right at home everywhere.
They also make themselves comfortable on cars, which is not entirely harmless.
A cat in
London has
chosen
an even more unusual place
and even put its life in danger.
The whole thing happened at
Euston station in London
.
As is probably the case at every train station,
delays
can occur
there too
.
Mostly it concerns technical problems, a signal disturbance or the like.
In this case, however, a cat ensured that a
train
could not leave.

Curious rescue operation in London: cat prevents departure from train
In the evening the
animal was
discovered.
But not on the platform or between the tracks.
The
cat
had simply made himself comfortable on the roof of a high-speed train, as the transport company
Avanti West Coast Train announced
.
Actually, that should
train
set off against 21 o'clock.
But nothing came of it.
Because the animal initially made no move to come down.
The passengers who actually
wanted to take
the train from
London
to
Manchester
were
put on
another
train
.
Then the strange
rescue operation began
.
It took two and a half hours for the
cat to
be persuaded to use a garbage can that was brought down as a step, according to the British transport company.
The whole thing was not safe for the animal.

Cat is sitting on the roof of a train in London: "Curiosity was not her undoing"
The
cat
was very lucky not to come into contact with the 25,000 volt overhead line.
"Thankfully, this cat's curiosity did not undo," said Joe Hendry, manager of
London's Euston station
, according to a statement.
He was glad that she didn't have to sacrifice one of her nine lives.
The cat was not injured in the action, according to employees, she should be fine.
After all the stress, the cat will probably no longer want to climb onto a train so quickly.
The stubborn
cat
on the train's roof quickly became an
internet hit
too
.
Not only the transport company tweeted about the strange incident.
“Is the cat a member of Greenpeace?” Asked a Twitter user.
"This
train
goes nowhere until you have a saucer of milk and some salmon bring me," another user titled a picture of the
cat
, the
Avanti West Coast Train
posted.
Many were of course also happy that a "cat astrophe" was prevented and that nothing happened to the cat in its dangerous situation.
How the animal got on the train could not be clarified and will probably remain a mystery.
Also on
a rescue operation took place at another train station.
There a woman noticed three lonely puppies.
The little dogs ran unprotected along the tracks.
The woman reacted just right.
