"Upon hearing this I posted on my facebook page the situation. Residents stepped up and there are a few everyday hero’s to thank. Suanne Hutchinson was so concerned she went to the location, took a few pictures to confirm and posted back on facebook. The story was shared on facebook also asking for assistance to save this kittens life. Suanne wasn’t doing to let anything get in her way of helping this little one. She contacted We Energies this afternoon and to the rescue they came!
"A 20+ year employee of We Energies-Tim responded (we have also been told, but not confirmed that he is also the volunteer Fire Chief for Yorkville/Union Grove). We stood there while he assessed the situation, put on his gloves, up the ladder he went in between all the wires and rescued the cat.
"Not knowing if the cat was feral or someone’s pet we weren’t sure how this kitten would react to someone trying to save it. As soon as Tim reached the top of the pole the kitten came to him brushing up against him and jumped into his arms. Unsure of how to safely get the cat (yet alone himself down) the kitten was put into a small We Energies bag and lowered down to waiting arms of residents. The cat probably used up one of it’s lives today sitting atop of that pole, but thankfully for people like Suanne and Tim along with Melissa, it will meow yet another day. The cat was picked up with RPD CSO officer and taken to Wisconsin Human Society in Racine. (here are the pictures of the kittens saviors, Melissa a neighbor helped out also by bringing a carrier and food and water over for the kitten)"

get zapped by that high power there wouldn't be enough left to make a good taco!
Thank you, WE employee Tim.
When I lived in Chicago, I saw a transformer explode when a squirrel was on it. Ka-boom and a big shower of sparks. I think the squirrel was vaporized.
Your correct Orb's. POOF. They put crazy looking things all over the wires, and hot spots In the power station, because squirrel's were getting fried fairly often, and shutting down half the city.
