THIS is the moment firefighters rescued a petrified cat from the tree it had been stuck in for 30 hours. Hermione the cat managed to make her way up to the top of the tree on Lutterworth Avenue in Runcorn on Friday morning. But it proved to be a costly mistake after she realised that she could not get down again. She was eventually helped down by crews from Runcorn Fire Station around midday on Saturday using a ladder and a net, much to the delight of her concerned owners. “She was either looking for birds, or there was a dog floating around and she might have ran away from it without thinking about how to get down,” said owner Lucy Wardropper.
