It was a purr-fect save.
One NYPD Highway Unit officer caused a traffic jam last week to help save a cat that had wandered onto a busy highway in Queens, according to a post on the NYPD’s Facebook page.

Once the van drives away, the cat is seen underneath, frozen in its path. With rush hour traffic making its way around him, the officer picks up the orange feline and carries it safely off the highway.
According to police, once the officer carried the cat to the grassy side of the road, it jumped out of his arms and ran away.
The post also included the hashtag #ItsWhatWeDo.
