Cats have a tendency to get stuck in odd places.

Such as one ginger cat in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, which inexplicably found its head trapped in a hole in a wall and had to be rescued by Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) firefighters.

The rescue operation was highlighted in a Feb. 17 post on the agency's Facebook page.

Stuck

According to the post, APM Kota Kinabalu received an emergency call that day from a homeowner in Kota Kinabalu.

The person reported that a cat was trapped in the wall of their house.

This was the scene firefighters saw when they arrived:

Clad in protective suits, the firefighters used a power saw and other rescue equipment to ginger-ly (pun intended) cut through the wall.

They then successfully freed the furry feline.

'Cute but naughty'

Most online users lauded the firefighters' efforts.

Others jokingly deemed the cat as a naughty troublemaker.
