Last week my 9 mth old cat climbed a large weeping willow and was then unable to climb down or get herself out of the tree.
Unfortunately none of the neighbours had a long enough ladder nor could I manage to climb the tree. She was 1 - 2 stories high and no amount of coaxing, shaking dreamies or using the laser dot was working. By midnight she’d been in the tree 4 hours so I went inside hoping if I left her on her own she might try to get down on her own. I went back out at 2am and she was still in the same place and constantly meowing.
I finally managed to get her out of the tree at 4am - I had to duct tape two brooms and a snow shovel together lengthways and then hang a canvas bag on the end with a bowl of food inside. I got the bag as close to her as possible and she eventually jumped in.
Poppy was stuck in the tree for over 8 hours - any advice on who I could’ve called if I couldn’t have got her out of the tree - do you call a tree surgeon? I hesitate to call the fire brigade as that’s not what they are there for. Any suggestions?
