Dildo, Canada - Coco the cat got himself in a lot of trouble after he decided to climb all the way to the top of an electric pole – but things only got worse when a utility worker tried to help!

As owner Coco's owner Alice Reid from the Canadian town of Dildo (yes, really) told CTV News, Coco's "going to have to get used to being in the house more" after his terrifying stunt.

The curious three-year-old tabby cat was exploring when he decided to climb up a power pole. Once the indoor cat reached the top, he suddenly rediscovered his fear.

Coco meowed from the top of the pole for almost two hours. But when a utility worker finally arrived and climbed up to help, the poor feline was already terrified and decided to take drastic measures – by jumping off!

Cats Cat's tragic secret uncovered by X-ray – how could he live like that?

Alice caught Coco's death-defying leap on camera and posted a video posted to Facebook.

"I never, in a million years, thought that he was going to jump on his own," she said.

As Alice's wild video shows, the height from which Coco jumped is incredible!

"When he hit the ground, I seen him take off running," she said, "but I figured for sure he was hurt."

The normally chilled-out cat had never tried to climb or leap off anything taller than the tree line before, but his owner thinks a dog must have scared Coco up the pole to begin with.

In the end, though, there was no lasting damage done.

"He came up the step and went on in," Alice said. "Then he lied down on the floor and started washing himself like, you know, nothing ever happened."

Coco will remain ground for a while – for his own good!
