1. 4 days! Poor baby.

I hope her new family keeps her indoors.

4. This guy Duane Hook (see video) rescues cats that have been trapped for days at a time. He's amazing

It’s kind of hard to watch when you think about kittehs in trees scared and hungry. But he has all the ropes and skill to climb the trees.

His signature line “the cat’s in the bag!”

My friend had a cat run up a tree for a couple days. She called the fire department and they gave her the line “you never see a cat skeleton in a tree”

Duane Hook hates that saying as sometimes cats can’t get down and die or get taken by predators. Pity the fool who uses it on his page.

So anyway my friend found someone on Facebook to help. The cat lady from Facebook got stuck in the tree so the fire department had to rescue them both. Problem solved - you just need to get a human trapped with the cat.

2. I believe it is the Fire Department, not the police, who have the means to aid cats stuck in trees. They have

ladders!

5. They usually won't help.

The trick is, as I said upthread, is to get a human stuck up there with the cat. Then the fire department will come.

6. I just talked to my fire department. They will help, including going up the

tree as a last resort.

3. A welcome "good news" story for today!

Helps restore a bit of faith in humanity. (Takes a lot to wipe the stain of you-know-who.)
