Riverside County animal services officer rescues cat perched high above a freeway

Officials in Riverside County on Tuesday credited an animal services officer with rescuing a stranded cat precariously perched 200 feet above a busy freeway.

The 1-year-old black feline was atop a concrete barrier overlooking the 60 Freeway in Mira Loma last week when Officer Gary Pahls arrived on the scene, according to the Riverside County Department of Animal Services.

As a California Highway Patrol officer stopped traffic, Pahls moved slowly toward the cat and coaxed the animal into his arms.

"She was very calm and relaxed," Pahls said in a statement, "and seemed very thankful."

He said the was cat scraped in a way that indicated that someone may have the thrown the animal out of a vehicle window.

1. some people can be so cruel.

It is used to affection. I'm guessing the person that nurtured that kind of gentle soul didn't do this to her.

I'm guessing an act of vengeance by an abusive lover, angry neighbor or callous parent.

2. While driving to work one day I kept noticing small black things

on the freeway. After seeing the 3rd one I realized they were kittens. It broke my heart because there were 5 in all. I can just hear the asshole who threw them from his car window laughing as he tossed each one. I just wonder how people like that can sleep at night.

3. People who do things like that have something broken in them that can't be fixed, IMO.

But I have too much pity for their victims to have any left over for them.
