KUALA LUMPUR: Even cats need a helping hand from the men in red every now and then.

A distress call was made to the Fire and Rescue Department and a team was rushed to the scene.

"The responding team utilised a safety harness to conduct the operation safely, which was required due to the height the operation was conducted.
