Firefighters came to the rescue of Betty the cat who got stuck in a gap between the walls of a pub and flats.

The adventurous moggy had gone walkabout for five days in Luton to the dismay of her owners.

But in the early hours of yesterday, her miaows could be heard near the Constitution Castle at the top of the hill.

A crew from Medway fire station was called at about 3.30am to an address in Constitution Hill.

Betty had managed to lodge herself between the walls between the flats and a pub.

Firefighter Archie Deacon said: “We used a hammer and chisel to widen the hole and Betty was out in no time.

"She was more stressed out with the noise of the hammer than getting stuck. Otherwise she was unharmed.”
