Firefighters in North Yorkshire have been called to deal with a rare incident that many people think they deal with everyday- to help a cat that was stuck up a tree.

A crew from York went to the aid of Sheba, a large Manx cat, who was trapped in a conifer in the Strensal Park area of the city.

However, after firefighters had started climbing a ladder to get her down, Sheba decided she didn’t need any help and climbed down herself.
