STAMFORD, CT — A cat stuck inside a wall?

Not a problem for members of the Stamford Fire Department, who cut into the wall, doing as little damage as possible, to free the frisky one on Friday morning.

To get inside the wall, the cat "apparently took advantage of HVAC Technicians working in the attic and decided to explore the usually inaccessible space," fire officials said.
