A US man who climbed a tree to rescue his cat ended up being rescued by his local fire department after he got stuck.

The Tulsa Fire Department shared on their Facebook page a video of their personnel rescuing both the owner and his cat. “Its owner was so concerned for the feline that he climbed up to attempt a rescue,” the fire department wrote.

“Unfortunately, they both found themselves in a dangerous predicament high above the ground, unable to get down safely.”
