Cat in a Pine Tree!

[spokewench]

Well, he had been up in the tree two nights (one when I did not know where he was and one when I did hoping he would come down. I tried to get him to come down with food, etc. on Monday morning to no avail. Then my good friends came over to help me with a ladder to see if we went part way up would he come. No such luck. Finally found the greatest tree cutter from Agassiz Tree Cutting who immediately said he would come over with his truck and crew (they were at lunch) and that he gets cats out of trees for a donation only!

He was wonderful and short time later, he went to the very top of the 50 foot pine tree, grabbed Gustav put him in a bag and rapelled down! I just could not stand having that poor little one year old up in that tree for another night. I really don't think he was going to come down. He was just too scared and eventually I think he would have gotten too tired to come down!

He was very happy to be home, but very, very tired. He seems to be scared of dogs now so I think it was a dog that chased him and he is also very lovey and staying close to his Mom more than usual. He is well and other than being tired does not seem to be any worse for wear! Cats are pretty durable.

I'm just glad to know he is safe and home
