April 6 (UPI) -- Emergency responders in Kansas came to the rescue of a cat that became stuck inside of a mechanical reclining chair while trying to avoid a visit to the vet.

The Overland Park Police Department said on social media that the cat was "desperately trying to escape its owner for a vet visit" when it fled into the inner workings of the chair and got stuck.

The Overland Park Fire Department used a saw to cut through the chair and free the cat with help from animal control officers.
