....... 5 firefighters and 905 litres of water
Wed Jun 20, 5:30 AM

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - It took two fire trucks, five firefighters, several animal rescuers and about 950 litres of water to rescue a two-pound kitten.

Animal control officers tried coaxing the grey tabby out of a storm sewer drain with encouraging words and food Monday before giving up after about an hour and a half. Firefighters tried banging tools on one end of the pipe and flashing lights Monday night in hopes of driving him out the other end - but that didn't work either.
It wasn't until firefighters flushed about 905 litres of water through the 25-to 38-centimetre pipe - enough to wet the kitten's paws - and the feline rushed into the hands of Firefighter Kevin Siers, who was standing inside a manhole.
"We had about an hour and a half of fun," Siers said Tuesday. "Everybody was pretty tickled" when the cat emerged.
After a very frightening day and night, the kitten seemed more relaxed and was warming up to humans, said Dan Hendrickson with the Humane Society of Parkersburg.
A visitor to the shelter signed adoption papers Tuesday.

Sorry the above answer was all I could think of, as it was more pet friendly than.

4 Drunk Canadian men with shotguns
3 Other drunks from the states with fully automatic weapons
2 Sticks of dynamite
Don't worry the above mentioned were all drunk.
And one lady in her 80's with a bowl of milk and cat treats
