Louisiana Cat Learns The Hard Way Why Sleeping On A Garage Door Is A Bad Idea

Our feline friends never fail to surprise us with their quirky ideas. Cats are remarkably intelligent creatures, but sometimes they act so clumsy, it’s as if they have zero brain cells.

That’s exactly what happened to this gray and white kitty named Bella. After enjoying a beautiful day, Bella decided to take a well-deserved nap. 

However, what she thought would be a perfect idea turned out to be a disaster, and she needed urgent help.

Bella decided to nap on top of the garage door, but unfortunately, she had to learn the lesson the hard way.

Still, thanks to Deputy Mike Scott of the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, she was rescued just in time.

It all began when Deputy Scott received an urgent call about the gray and white kitty stuck in a rather unusual predicament at a home in Louisiana. He shared in a post on Facebook:

“A cat had been stuck between the garage door of a residence and the wall. Never in all of my years was I prepared to encounter what I saw upon my arrival.”

Thankfully, Deputy Scott wasted no time in reacting and arrived just in time. Bella looked pretty uncomfortable.

The worst part was that no one was home when she got stuck. It’s believed that Bella had been sleeping on top of the garage door when it was open and horizontal. 

However, when her owner closed the door and left, the problems began.

Despite the unfortunate situation, Bella turned out to be very lucky. She was noticed hanging by the garage door by her neighbors, who immediately contacted Deputy Scott for help.

In addition, they even gave him a helping hand during the rescue mission. Together, they removed the molding around the door frame to gently pull Bella to safety.

During the rescue, someone notified Bella’s owner, who quickly returned home, unaware of what had happened.

After successfully finishing the rescue mission, Bella underwent a thorough examination. To everyone’s surprise, she had no injuries at all. 

She was just a little scared from everything she had endured, and maybe a little embarrassed.

Eventually, everything turned out great, and everyone returned to their homes happy. Deputy Scott shared:

“I am not much of a cat person, but no one wants to see an animal suffer. Thank God for miracles and good neighbors.”

But of all the places, why did Bella choose to fall asleep high up on a garage door?

Well, in case you didn’t know, cats spend most of their day sleeping, and for that, they need safe and comfortable spots. In nature, what’s a safer place from predators than being high up in a tree?

It’s the same with indoor cats. It’s their instinct to nap or observe the world from high places. Not only does it allow them to see what’s happening around them, but it also offers them a sense of protection.

Sadly, when Bella decided to fall asleep on the garage door, she had no idea what would happen next. Hopefully, she learned her lesson, and from now on, she’ll stick to safer high spots!
