A small cat became trapped underneath a vehicle Tuesday morning after it darted out into traffic on Pine Avenue near Hyde Park Blvd.

The driver of the vehicle slammed on his brakes fearing that if he kept going there would be a good chance the cat would be injured or killed or killed.

Witnesses stated that they saw the cat run under the vehicle but didn’t see it come out.

The driver, along with bystanders and officers from the Niagara Falls Police Department, attempted to locate the cat but were unable to.

Fortunately, Tom Jacob Towing came to the rescue and lifted the vehicle up high enough for someone to get underneath and get a better view of where the cat was.

As it turns out, it was wedged between the transfer case and undercarriage.

Several attempts to free the cat failed, so Tom Jacob offered to tow the vehicle free of charge to Giovanni Auto Repair on 11th street where a mechanic was able to free the cat.

The cat was unharmed.

Dr. Bob's Sixth Step: Protect Your Sleep With a Red Light

By Dr. Robert Lee Oksenholt · October 10, 2026

Dr. Bob's sixth step for aging stronger after 60 is protected sleep: a consistent bedtime, screens down before bed, and dim red night lights that won't suppress melatonin. The motion-activated lights also light the path to the bathroom, helping prevent the falls that put older adults at risk of hip fractures.
