When the Palisade Police Department arrived to check on a big cat who refused to come out from under the stairs of an apartment building, they decided it was time to call in reinforcements.

After tranquilizing the unlikely visitor, they gave him a ride to a safe and comfortable place to sleep it off while arrangements were made to get this big kitty home.
