Good Samaritans rescue cat stuck in tree

A passerby stops to help.Richard harbus

This kitty was the toast of Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, where it climbed a tree and couldn’t get down — for a while.

A large crowd gathered Tuesday in front of Mario’s Restaurant to watch Zuccaro as he contemplated his options.

But no firefighters were needed to rescue the feline because passersby managed to coax him down.

Cats find it easy to climb trees — usually for safety — because of their claws, but getting down is the hard part because they prefer moving head first, which means they have nothing to support their weight.

Hence, the need for the Bravest — or anyone with a ladder — to help them down.
