A Las Cruces family was happily reunited with their cat Monday afternoon.
El Paso Electric crews rescued the cat stuck atop one of its poles on Eason Street in Las Crcues.
The crew de-energized the power lines, and the cat was collected by animal rescue volunteers.

The spokesman could not ABC-7 how much the rescue will cost the utility or if the cat’s owners will be billed.
