Cat in bag gets rescued moments away from getting sliced by garbage separator

Garbage sorters from Ulyanovsk, Russia rescued a cat that was a whisker away from getting sliced and diced by the automated garbage separator. The animal was discovered within a plastic trash bag (insert obligatory cat in the bag joke). According to the crew's director, the cat turned out to be well-fed, clean and well-groomed, meaning that its previous owner quite literally threw it away. The animal was not injured but was frightened upon its rescue.

This is the third time in the last two months where employees of the garbage sorting plant found animals when sorting waste. Previously, two red-eared turtles and an African hedgehog were similarly rescued.
