Cat feline lucky as he loses a life

A CAT who fell into deep water while running away from a dog has had a lucky escape, an animal welfare charity said.

Scottish SPCA said it was called to rescue the young cat after a member of the public spotted him fall into Prestonhill quarry in Inverkeithing, Fife, on Sunday morning.

The black and white tom cat has been renamed Cliff by staff at the charity’s re-homing centre in Balerno, Edinburgh, where he is recovering.
