The first cat video? Footage from 1936 shows a fire-fighting feline called Mickey before he died doing what he loved - sliding down his station's poles

    Mickey the cat was famous in his time for living as a fireman in Station 10
    A video shows him watching sliding down the station's poles and riding in the back of the chief's car
    News reports from the time prove Mickey was known for his sliding abilities
    He died in 1937 from an pole-related incident

This is GREAT!  And, saw a post that someone said they tossed the cat and I doubt that.  He wouldn't have known to grab the pole, I think he would have tried to get away.

Wonderful cat and video!

Cool cat story. Did they have fake news back then? lol

Fake news is not a new creation. Lies and deceptions always existed.

The cat looked very stressed when it was in that car with the firefighters judging by his panting.

The cat didn't look stressed in the car, looked like he was yawning. And yes they did fake news  back then and salacious stories.The New York Graphic run by Berrnar McFadden, founder of True Story Magazine and several others ran a story about a man who escaped a mental asylum and raped a woman. The title of the article on the front page read :Nut Bolts and Screws, and no not making this up. The  scandal of Daddy and Peaches Browning  they did what they called a cosmograph or some such name. It was photos to which they added captions. You can Google this, so it's nothing new.
