A cat stuck in a tree might sound like a movie scene, but it just happened in Essex County.
The cat, named Rita, had been missing for over a week before she was found Tuesday night — more than 20 feet up in a tree.
The Bloomfield Fire Department responded and safely rescued her.
Rita is now back home with her very relieved owners.
