A stray cat had a lucky escape after she fell onto the metal spikes of a fence, impaling herself.
The cat was walking across residential roofs when she fell onto the metal bars in Songkhla, southern Thailand on Tuesday afternoon.
Locals followed the animal's pitiful screams and were horrified to see the cat's fur had been pierced through the railings, pinning her to the fence.
They called the rescue foundation for help after trying to reach the cat themselves - only for the panicked feline to repeatedly try and bite them.
Two rescuers from Hat Yai Foundation arrived in the evening and tried to calm her by covering her body with a cloth.
They then distracted the cat and let her play with a piece of rope before carefully pulling her up from the metal with a tongs.
The frightened stray quickly ran away and hid herself in the drainage after the ten minutes long rescue.
Locals waited for the cat then took her to the animal hospital afterwards.
Speaking in the video, one woman said: ''She was trying to move away when we went closer to touch her and that caused her more pain.
''We didn't see her bleeding but it's best if we could take her to the vet.
"We'll wait for her to come out and hopefully will take her to the hospital for treatment.''
