A video of a cat that was allegedly stuck on a roof for a week in Batu Pahat, Johor, has gone viral since it was uploaded on TikTok yesterday (3 February).

TikTok user Nisaa, who shared the video on her account said in the caption that there has been a cat making noises at night on the roof of an abandoned house near where she lives.

“We’ve tried to go up (onto the roof) but we’re not sure which part of the roof is safe. And then there’s the rotting wood. So today the cat appeared again, crying for help. It has been up there for a week,” she wrote in the caption.

Nisaa explained that she had called the fire department and even the Malaysia Civil Defence Force (JPAM) but to no avail.

@niecahhhh Ni lah kucing yg bunyi malam2 dekat bumbung kami. Kami dh cuba naik atas tapi tak tahu mana yg atap kosong. Dgn kayu2 nya nk reput. So harini dia muncul lagi, minta bantuan. Dia dah seminggu kat atas tu. Kami dh call bomba kami dah call jpam semua. Last2 memang tak dapat diselamatkan. Korang doakan ramai2 semoga Allah tunjuk kan dia jlan keluar. Kesian kucing nya haus, nk makan. Ya Allah kasihani la dia. Kalau area batu pahat ada sewa skylift bgitahu lah kami. Kami mmg tak sampai hati nk tinggal kan dia mcmtu. Nk ignore je mmg tak sampai hati. #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #kucing #batupahatjohor ♬ original sound – Nisaa🕊️

Netizens share their concern for the cat

Many expressed their concern for the cat in the comments section. Most users were worried that the cat might be starving and thirsty after being stuck for days on the roof without food and water, and being exposed to the elements.

At the same time, some users questioned the fire and rescue department’s lack of responsiveness towards the situation.

Nisaa claimed the fire department told her they could not help her with the situation due to it being too dangerous for the rescue officer.

TRP has reached out to the Batu Pahat Fire and Rescue Department to confirm if they had received the call, and whether this statement is true or not.

The cat was finally rescued, but not by the fire department

Nisaa posted an update in the comments section of her post that the cat had been rescued and is safe in her care.

She later uploaded a video showing the cat in a carrier backpack and explained that her husband and another man had gone up to the roof to rescue the cat themselves.

@niecahhhh Alhamdulillah berkat doa korang yg ramai. Kucing dah selamat. Cuma dia dengan kucing saya dia hissing. Tp ni sy dah kurung dalam sangkar. Kucing ni bersih. Saya tak pasti kucing orang ke apa. Terima kasih semua warga tiktok. Terima kasihhh alhamdulillah. #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #batupahatjohor ♬ original sound – Nisaa🕊️
