Five Days on a Power Poll: Chato Finally Climbs Down

Chato the cat turned an ordinary Aurora neighborhood into the setting of a five‑day feline soap opera after slipping out during his owner’s move and scaling a power pole like it was his new throne. Perched high above the street, he ignored every plea to come down while neighbors frantically called anyone who might help — animal control, firefighters, even the power company — all of whom hesitated because of the live wires. As the days dragged on, Chato became a tiny, stubborn landmark in the sky, drawing concern, frustration, and a surprising amount of community bonding. Then, in true cat fashion, he ended the drama on his own terms, finally climbing down Thursday night as if the whole ordeal had been part of his master plan.

I couldn't find that specific video, but here are a few of cats walking the highwire!
