Peanut butter lovers will know that when the craving hits, it must be satisfied. However, few would go as far as getting their head stuck in the jar to do that. One stray kitten in Oxford proved himself to be a unique lover of the nutty stuff.

On Saturday, RSPCA inspector Jaime Godfrey was called to rescue a local stray that found himself caught in a sticky situation.

“The kitten had his head completely stuck inside a plastic pot of peanut butter," Godfrey was quoted in a press release sent to Mashable. "When I arrived he was lying in a heap on the grass... He couldn’t move at all."

Godfrey got to work on freeing the spunky kitty. He wrapped the kitten in a towel and cut away the thick plastic ring around his neck.

“Once I managed to lever the cat out, I had a good check over his head and neck to check for injuries. Thankfully, the cat was unhurt," he said.

The brazen feline scurried away as soon as he was freed, hopefully having learned his lesson.

We're elated that the kitten was liberated from the jar. Whether or not he'll find freedom from his peanut butter addiction is yet to be seen.
