A cat stuck up a tree for 24 hours was saved - by rescuers in a cherry picker.

Otto, an 8-month-old ginger, was spotted in the branches of the 40ft oak tree in Weymouth.

Despite its owners’ best efforts and calls to the RSPCA and fire service - Otto wasn’t budging.

But a team from Knighton Countryside Management stepped in and used a cherry picker and specialist climbing gear to save the frightened pet.

The team was able to safely bring Otto back to the ground.
