This sequel was a horror show for New York drivers.
City workers shut down part of the Manhattan Bridge for an hour on Friday to rescue a black cat that was wandering along the span — two days after another kitty caused rush-hour mayhem in the subways.
Office workers in Dumbo, Brooklyn, first spotted the cat chasing pigeons around the bridge on its Brooklyn side Wednesday afternoon.
The furball followed its beaked foe so high up that he became stranded on a narrow ledge, according to Gothamist. The creature paced back and forth until it figured out an escape route to a maintenance and storage area next to the pedestrian walkway.
Worried office workers reported the stray to the city and animal-rescue groups.
The Animal Care & Control of NYC sent a worker on Friday morning, and the city was called in when the cat was spotted.
“You can’t have people just climbing over bridges, even for a cat,” Department of Transportation spokeswoman Bonny Tsang said of the AC&C.
DOT workers shut down the left lane of the bridge’s Manhattan-bound side at about 1 p.m.
The two groups worked in tandem, holding off traffic while chasing the kitty with a large metal cage. It took about an hour to snare the frightened feline and reopen the lane, Tsang said.
Vets gave the collarless cat a checkup and will attempt to find out if it’s a stray or a runaway.
If it’s a stray and someone chooses to adopt the cat, Tsang said she hopes the new owner will honor the cat’s bridge adventures.
“I would love to give it a DOT-related name,” she said.
The rescue followed Wednesday’s theatrics at the Canal Street subway station, where a cat escaped its owner’s grip and jumped onto the tracks.
About 10,000 commuters on 83 trains faced delays of up to 40 minutes as power was shut down so cops could go onto the railbed and save the animal.
