This rescue effort to pull out a cat from a well had an unexpected but a happy ending.

A cat fell into a 35-feet well in a village near Kottayam in South India and was unable to climb up. A few members of a local animal welfare group came together to initiate the rescue, lowering a bamboo basket into the well and coaxing the cat to jump into it, but the animal was too frightened.

In desperation, they moved the basket closer to her, which ended up scaring the cat and leading to her losing her balance and falling back into the water.

The rescue team then lowered the bamboo basket to water to help the cat, and at this point, the cat decides to take matters into her own hands: she scales up the well all by herself, not needing the help of the rescuers at all as they watched in relief and astonishment.

A cat fell into a 35-feet well in a village near Kottayam in South India and was unable to climb up. A few members of a local animal welfare group assembled to bring her up.

They lowered a bamboo basket into the well, but the cat, who was very frightened, refused to get into it. They spent nearly three hours persuading her to take the ride, but failed.

In desperation, they took the basket very close to her. That scared the cat even more and she tried to jump up, hit an obstruction and fell back into water.

The rescue team then lowered the bamboo basket to water to help the cat.

But she again decided to take the matter into her own hands, ran up the well and fled as the astonished boys watched.
