Dailey Bailey: A Guy Was Talked Down Off a Ledge . . . by His Cat?

A guy in San Francisco got pulled over for not having a license plate on Wednesday, and took off running. It turned out the car was stolen, so that’s probably why. (We don’t know how old he is, but he looks like he’s in his 30’s.)

Anyway, he scaled a fence . . . ran into a building . . . went up to the third floor . . . got out on the window ledge . . . and threatened to jump.

So negotiators spent about three hours trying to talk him down. But he just sat there . . . until a family member showed up with his CAT. Once he saw it, he agreed to let police take him into custody.

And it wasn’t because his family was there . . . it was definitely all about the cat. The police even said it “assisted” with the negotiation, and was “paramount” in getting him to come down.

They haven’t released his name, or any charges yet. But a spokeswoman tweeted a picture of a cop with the cat and said, quote, “Never underestimate the power of [an] owner’s love for their pet.”
