A real life scaredy-cat lived up to its name after spending two days stuck up a tree before it was rescued.

Ossie managed to climb 10m up the tree on Queen’s Road, Wilmslow, but was unable to get back down.

After being trapped for 48 hours an RSPCA officer was unable to coax the frightened cat down and called the fire service.

A crew from Wilmslow used a 13.5 metre ladder to rescue Ossie from tree ending the ordeal at 2pm on October 28 and reuniting him with his grateful owner.
