Title: kitten in a tree?
Post by: tunafish on October 02, 2008, 20:43:12 PM
Has anybody else ever experienced a kitten climbing all the way up a tree and getting stuck? I have heard lots of tales but never saw this, until an hour ago.

My neighbours had been stood there for 2 hours wondering what to do, so I climbed up and saved the lil thing from 40ft. Yipes, it's not easy climbing down a tree and carrying a cat at the same time, and I'm scared of heights. I would do it again though of course.  :Crazy: ... I'm not some sort of superhero though, I think I was the only person skinny enough to not snap all the tree branches... hehe

Well, it made me feel like I'd done something good for a super furry animal. Yay

Well done, one of my cats Charlie did the tree climbing thing - He fell and we very nearly lost him, it was only the skill and dedication of my vet that saved his life - I still feel sick when i think about it and it was over a year ago.

Kitty needs to be grateful that you were in Super Hero mood.  :rofl:

as a young man Oscar decided to climb to the top of an electric pole  - we ha to call the fire brigade as they were the only folks with a ladder long enough to get him out. The firemen then had to call Southern Electric to make sure it was safe................................ :shy:

oh my, I'm glad nothing bad happened to this one... looking back I should have thought it out a bit more as it was pretty silly, I could have taken a backpack up for instance and put the cat inside...

I'm sure this kitten will never climb a tree again anyway, lessons have to be learned.

I wouldnt count on "lesson learnt"

Charlie still occasionally climbs the same tree - he doesnt go so high I am glad to say.
