A 20-year-old blind cat is rescued from an icy Massachusetts pond after some quick thinking

A 20-year-old blind cat named Tiki caused a scare after he was seen on ice floating in a Massachusetts pond and then fell in. The black-and-white cat can thank an alert passerby who called first responders Monday and a couple of nearby construction workers for his rescue. One worker jumped into a rowboat and used a shovel to break through the ice. The other helped him navigate. Animal control officer Kirsten Hirschler in Westford says Tiki's temperature was so low it didn't even register on a thermometer. He's back home recovering after a visit to the veterinarian.
