At least with human cave rescues, the rescuee isn't actively trying to evade the rescuers.

My old cats would always come running when I banged a spoon against a tin (or shook the crunchies box). Maybe CRO could jangle beer bottles to encourage victims?

In most cases..... but not all!

Didn't DCRO have a call out to Dudley/ Wrens Nest and the peeps tried to hide? Think the late JRJ as controller went in for a chat...

Unfortunately these people operate only in the US, and they deal with trees not cellars, but they post interesting and heart warming videos on facebook for those with a minor or major addiction to cat videos.

I was with Ralph on this one. IIRC the rescuee's scarpered via another entrance, when they saw the Police & fire engines!

If only there was something like that over here and we wouldn't have all those cat skeletons in trees all around the place.

As an aside there is a terrace of houses behind our house and one day I saw a cat strolling along their roofs. I assumed it had climbed out of one of the attic windows and hope the owner knew and it hadn't got locked out and rapped up there. I looked again "hang on a minute, that's my bloody cat!". She'd evidently climbed up onto the roofs of a two storey row of houses. Seemingly not much worthwhile exploring up there as I'd not seen her up there since.
