* {{Garfield}} occasionally gets stuck up a tree. In one episode of ''GarfieldAndFriends'', after a while of nobody rescuing him, he lures Nermal up there by telling him humans think it's cute. His plan was to be rescued as an afterthought, if nothing else. The firefighters, news vans, and crowd of people soon gather around... and proceed to ignore Garfield, rescuing ''only'' Nermal and dispersing with scarcely a trace. Jon himself later rescues Garfield... but makes the mistake of gushing over Nermal's cuteness before getting down himself. He spends the remainder of the episode there with anybody's guess how ''he'' eventually gets down.

* Invoked in the chapter name of Hinagiku's first appearance in {{Hayate no Gotoku}}, though that time she's returning a baby bird to it's nest, she later does rescue cats from trees. Rescue in this case is a matter of opinion though, since she's afraid of heights, so she becomes stuck in the tree as well. But at least she has the ability to summon someone who will help her escape (with the cat), as opposed to the cat being alone stuck up in the tree.

Common variation of this trope is that the cat really dislikes whoever's coming to rescue it and goes all [[LooneyTunes Tazmanian Devil]] on the rescuer in a whirl of claws and enraged meow-shrieking.
