Chinese firefighters warm hearts as frozen kittens rescued from burnt-out building

A group of firefighters in northeast China became the cat’s pyjamas after footage of them rescuing five frozen kittens from the ruins of a burned-out building was posted online on the weekend.

The video showing an ice-covered fireman extracting an equally ice-encrusted cat from the building in Dalian, Liaoning province, was viewed 10.8 million times on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like microblogging service.
