CCTV footage captures incredible moment man rescues Felix the cat from London's Thames

A cat has escaped from a catfight damp but otherwise unscathed after a man rescued her from the River Thames.

CCTV footage of the incident, which was posted by the Royal Docks Management Authority (RoDMA), shows ‘Felix’ the cat tumbling into the Thames before being fished out by a passer-by.

“Felix the RoDMA cat ended up in the drink while bravely engaging in a hostile territorial battle (ie running away) from another cat,” said a report on the Royal Docks website.

“We can happily report that Felix suffered no injury or trauma,” they wrote.

“She also seems to be completely unaware that the rest of the RoDMA team have been laughing behind her back after the blasé ‘nothing to see here’ routine that followed her dunking.”
