A cat got more than she bargained for when she headed upwards until she reached the roof of a village house.

Beauty got stuck and could not get back down again.

The animal charity RSPCA called in firefighters to rescue the elderly feline.

Acomb firefighters went to the house in Bravener Court, Newton-on-Ouse, and brought the tabby cat safely back down to earth.

The rescue happened at lunchtime today.
