Firefighters rescued a cat trapped in an air conditioner unit outside a 21st-floor window in southern China.

The heroic video, filmed in the city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province on March 6, shows a fireman tied by safety ropes climbing out of the window on the 21st floor.

He is then lowered down to the British shorthair cat trapped inside an air conditioner unit.

After opening the unit, the fireman took the cat out and sent it back into the flat.

According to the cat's owner, it jumped out of the window when the family were having a gathering at home.

3月6日晚8点过，成都郫都区天立香缇华府小区，一家住户饲养的宠物猫咪被困在22楼窗外。主人求助了119。
消防队员赶到住户家中发现，猫咪困在卧室空调外箱里面，卧室窗户窗口非常小，刚好能容一人身躯钻出去。而窗外台阶也只能放置脚尖，救援操作相当困难。担心猫咪掉下去，主人十分着急。消防队员观察地形后，一名队员做好安全防护，经过狭小的窗口来到了22楼外立面。
消防队员用一只手抓住猫咪，防止猫咪受到惊吓掉下去，一只手打开空调箱。然后在双手抓着猫咪，用脚尖支撑身体，将猫咪慢慢的送回室内。猫咪安然无恙。
户主介绍，当时一家人在家聚会，猫咪自己跳到了22楼窗外，被困在空调外箱里面。户主发现后，无法自行营救，只好拨打119电话求助。
