Earlier today, a fire and rescue crew was called to Windermere Crescent where a cat had got stuck in an upstairs window.

A spokesman for Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service posted on its Facebook page: "Earlier today, Gateshead firefighters rescued a fearless feline who mistook an upstairs window for a cat flap in Hebburn.

"Thankfully the cat is purr-fectly fine."

The feline wasn't injured and was returned to their owner.
