I was taking her for a walk on her leash and she got away from me and dashed 12 feet up a tree and couldn't get down! She was up there crying and there was nothing I could do! My dad finally got her down with a big ladder. It was so scary!

a harness would probably work a little better than a leash. i am happy you got her down!

I know it is scary when our kitties got up in trees away from us, but a wise old vet I know had a very good point. Have you ever seen cat bones in a tree? They will come down eventually.

Good point! My Wiggies has gotten himself stuck countless times. But it's fun for him, and he knows his human will always catch him if he falls/ get a ladder/ climb up to rescue him/ cajole him till he comes down on his own


Antares - it's much more dangerous to let your cats roam free!
