An unidentified worker who witnessed the feline's plunge into the drink springs into action and brings Felix back up to dry land.
"There was a time when the waters of the Royal Docks were so filthy, an unexpected plunge would result in a period of quarantine. But as if to prove just how well the waters are maintained by the staff of the Royal Docks Management Authority, Felix the RoDMA cat ended up in the drink while bravely engaging in a hostile territorial battle (i.e., running away) from another cat," the Royal Docks said in a statement.
"We can happily report that Felix suffered no injury or trauma. She also seems to be completely unaware that the rest of the RoDMA team have been laughing behind her back after the blase 'nothing to see here' routine that followed her dunking," officials said.
