When you see what problems cats get themselves into, you have to wonder how they manage to survive in the wild on their own. Recently a cat named Blue got its head stuck in a tire and couldn’t get it out. That’s when firefighters arrived and cut the tire off from around the poor cat’s head.

Of course to do this, a veterinarian had to give the cat anti-anxiety medicine first so the cat wouldn’t freak out. Fortunately the operation was a success and firefighters freed Blue. Without people, cats seem helpless but since cats like to boss people around, it’s apparently the other way around.
