VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Curiosity didn't kill Ralph the cat, but it did get the feline stuck in a tight situation Sunday.

Two men arrived at Vancouver Fire Station 85 on Sunday with a cat whose head was trapped in a Mason jar.

Firefighters said the men came home from a weekend camping trip to find their cat, named Ralph, stuck in the jar.

After some troubleshooting, firefighters decided to lube up the jar. They then guided Ralph's head out.

The cat wasn't hurt, but it remains a mystery how his head got in the jar. The men weren't sure how long the cat had been stuck.
