It's not unusual for people to get stuck in strange places in China but footage has now emerged of a cat being rescued after being stuck on a roof for two whole months.

The video, captured on Sunday in Shandong, shows people placing a cage filled with fish bait on the roof, in an attempt to coax the cat into it.

When the unlucky feline finally gets into the cage, a man on the roof closes the door and carries the cat down.
