The video shows the man using a wooden ladder to descend into the hole at what appears to be the site of a demolished building. Advertisement The man gets to the bottom of the hole, intending to rescue the seemingly stranded cat, when the feline shocks its would-be rescuer and the filmer by running up the side of the seemingly-unclimbable hole. The cat shoots most of the way straight up, before running across the wall horizontally parkour-style and bounding away to safety. The man and his observers erupt into fits of laughter at the unexpected ending to the rescue.
