Last Friday, a user with the Twitter handle Nekooyaji posted several images of the large spotted cat stuck between two branches of a tree at Tokyo's Tama Zoological Park. The cheetah looks bewildered as another cheetah looks on.

Fortunately, the photos also show the stuck cat maneuvering its way out of its hilarious predicament.

The series of images drew quite the reaction on Twitter — as of Tuesday afternoon, Nekooyaji's post has been liked more than 42,000 times and shared over 16,000 times.
