</P><P>
The woman, aged in her 20s, went to help feline Mercedes who had been trapped in a neighbour's tree for almost two days.
</P><P>
But a branch broke beneath her and she was also left stranded in the tree on Essex Hall Road in Colchester, Essex.
</P><P>
Fire crews helped the woman down from the tree using ladders, while the cat eventually made its own way down.
</P><P>
Local resident Elly Hinkins said she had called the RSPCA after she heard a cat's cries for help and spotted Mercedes up a tree in her driveway.
</P><P>
Ms Hinkins, who is not Mercedes' owner, was told to inform the fire brigade if the cat remained trapped after three days.

But she called them a day earlier after spotting the would-be rescuer stuck up the tree along with the cat.
