cat up a tree

[Deepsouth]

My BIL called and said my sisters cat has been about 40 foot up a tree since night before last. He said his 24 foot ladder won't reach the first limb. He says he can shoot the limb the cats on in two. He called me to ask if a fall from that height would hurt the cat. I told him that I only know one way to find that out. :mrgreen: He says this is my sisters favorite cat and he'd better not hurt it. He is willing to climb the tree but had rather not. I am no cat expert but I told him when that cat got thirsty enough it would come down on It's own. What do y'all think?

I've never seen a cat worth climbing a 40' tree. Or a 10' tree for that matter, but that's just me. I think it'll come down on its own eventually.

climbing tree stand and tell him to get the CONTRACT in writing before getting the cat out of the tree.

Have you ever found a cat skeleton in a tree?

Good point! They have climbing gear or they wouldn't be able to get up there to begin with.

Sometimes electric companies will help you out.

My BIL said the cat was out of the tree when he got home yesterday. He said there was a small broke limb laying on the ground but he couldn't tell if the cat fell out or climbed down but the cat was ok either way.

If the cat doesn't come down on it's own (and this is a cat not a kitten that got treed by a dog -- always the grand-daughters "favorite" kitten this happens to)

I recommend a garden hose...

...don't get near the bugger and try to rip it out of a tree or else you will end up with many cuts from the cat, the tree, and your not so graceful landing. Just trust me on this one. ;-)
