A fat cat became trapped in a small gap after chasing around a mouse in the attic.

Footage filmed in Agam, West Sumatra province, on November 25, shows the ginger male cat constantly meowing for help from its owner.

The owner of the cat Ayu and her son Haviz were confused as to how they could help free their pet.

"Fortunately the weather was cloudy, so the cat's back didn't get too hot from the roof that was clamping it," Ayu said.

Ayu's son tried to help by pressing the gutter down. Although the cat's owner's efforts were in vain, luckily the cat finally freed itself and jumped down.

"After being free the cat sleeps. Maybe he was tired. He's supposedly stuck in there after catching a mouse in the attic," Ayu said.
