KOB reported Gregg Strauss was working on the power line connected by the pole when he noticed the cat and tried to get him to come down.
A call went out to the Farmington Electric Utilities System, which operates the power line. A team of workers came and attempted to rescue the cat, but it became scared and ran to the top of the pole, jumping about 75 feet to the ground.
KOB reported that the cat was "alive and well" when it landed and ran into nearby bushes.
