What comes up, must come down and for a black and white coming down meant by the Natchez Fire Department ladder truck. The cat was spotted Tuesday night stranded on the ledge of the Natchez City Hall on Pearl Street without a way down. The fire department was called to rescue the cat. Lt. Steve Melton escorts the cat down the ladder as fellow firefighter Robert Hedrick watches. The firefighters bagged the cat on the roof, but the cat escaped as the firefighters were trying to bring it down using the ladder. As a result cat made its way down one rung at a time.
