A man in Thailand has been hailed a hero online after a video of him successfully resuscitating an electrocuted cat went viral
The 27-second clip, posted on 3 August on TikTok, showed the Good Samaritan performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the feline.
With one hand steadying the cat's neck, he used his other hand to press against its body, managing to revive it within moments.
The video has since gained over 1.7 million views.
It was later revealed that the man, identified as Bingbing, works as a veterinary assistant at the Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Bangkok
He told Thai news outlet Bright TV that his daughter alerted him to the incident. Upon arriving, he saw another person attempting CPR but applying pressure to the wrong area.
"The correct method for chest compressions is to apply pressure to the side of the cat's body," he shared.
After the cat, named Thongkham, regained consciousness, it struggled to breathe. Bingbing rushed it to a veterinary hospital.
On 7 August, Bingbing posted an update showing Thongkham had made a remarkable recovery and was able to walk again
Netizens have widely praised Bingbing's quick thinking, with many thanking him for demonstrating the correct CPR technique for cats.
One user joked, "Wishing a speedy recovery. There are only eight lives left, my child," referring to the belief that cats have nine lives.
