A KITTEN had a lucky escape after being found 150 feet (45.7 meters) underground in an electricity pipe after workers heard her desperate mewing — just before the pipe was due to be covered over.

    The 6-month-old kitten was rescued by a electrical maintenance crew deep underground as they worked on an electricity pipe in St. John’s Wood in north London.

    They picked up the terrified little moggy — initially called Billie, after singer and actress Billie Piper — and took her back to the surface and placed her in the care of nearby Mayhew Animal Home.

    Nobody has any idea how the black and white kitten got down so far, but she is believed to have slid down the huge pipe after sneaking into a former Royal Mail sorting office in St. John’s Wood.

    Workers have been at the site over the past few weeks carrying on maintenance on the pipe, which runs from Hackney in east London to St. John’s Wood.

    It is believed she sneaked out of her owner’s home in St. John’s Wood sometime Oct. 11 before falling down the pipe — where she is believed to have been stuck until Oct. 14 when she was rescued.(SD-Agencies)
