Save a kitten
![Idea!](https://apolyton.net/core/images/smilies/idea.gif)
Firefighters have used a vacuum cleaner with a sock on the end of the nozzle to rescue a six-hour-old kitten which had become trapped down a drain.
The fire crew was called to a house in Dunbar, East Lothian, in the early hours of Monday morning.
It is thought the kitten's mother had climbed behind the kitchen sink to give birth.
Rescuers used a vibrascope camera to locate the kitten, before using the vacuum cleaner to pull it to safety.
