Firefighters spent two hours trying to help the pet, which is trapped in a wood in Huddersfield.

Firefighters said they had tried coaxing the cat down and even used a drone in the hope its noise would persuade it to moveThe pet remains high in the tree in woods behind Longley Community Sports Club, near Huddersfield.

Crews from West Yorkshire Fire Service spent two hours trying to save the animal on Monday by using a drone, a 34ft ladder and a rope.

Firefighters were called in to help at about 11:45 GMT because the RSPCA was "extremely busy" and could not send an officer to help, a fire service spokesperson said."We tried coaxing it down to where we could reasonably gain access, tried using food but it was just too high and it began to climb further up when we made any attempts to get closer.
