she's about 9 months and stuck as a stuck thing. beyond our reach - even with a ladder....and it's nearly half past midnight.

OldMotherTaLcY · 01/09/2007 00:24

OldMotherTaLcY · 01/09/2007 00:25

sounded a bit russian then!

Biglips · 01/09/2007 00:25

neeh-naw neeh-naw neeh-naw maybe !!

shaking the treats bag might work!

weebleswobble · 01/09/2007 00:27

She'll make her own way down when you're not looking - they're little buggers like that . Could be a long night waiting though while she builds up her confidence. Talcy will stay up with you.

OldMotherTaLcY · 01/09/2007 00:27

how long's she been stuck?

sorry....sotoo many questions....i too would shake biscuit box////but guess youve prob done that?

she's about 20 feet up. dh managed to grab her (from eth top of theladder) but she wriggled and went further along the branch - out of reach. we shook the branch a bit which seemed to scare a bit of sense in her and she came back towards the trunk but then she changed her mind. and all this in the neighbour's garden, treading in their dog shit and in full expectation of getting accused of being burglars. and with only a red bike light for a torch.

rspca advice is to leave them alone. so that's what we're trying now. we haven't seen her much all day so gawd knows how long she's been up there. she was cavorting with her boyfriend.

yes......my next bit of advice, weebles....they do tend to wait for you to turn away before they scramble down....then give you the finger/

lol weebles

seriously....i hope she comes down soon

Biglips · 01/09/2007 00:31

show her her dins dins (food in her bowl as mine would've of came flyin down!)

OldMotherTaLcY · 01/09/2007 00:31

Great help Talcy! I'm too pissed help. Cobra beer and Amaretto don't make for good cat watching.

OldMotherTaLcY · 01/09/2007 00:32

hmmmm

OldMotherTaLcY · 01/09/2007 00:34

thelittleElf · 01/09/2007 00:35

Any sign of her coming down yet?

Biglips · 01/09/2007 00:37

OldMotherTaLcY · 01/09/2007 00:38

weebleswobble · 01/09/2007 00:39

thelittleElf · 01/09/2007 00:47

I'm guessing she doesn't normally stay out at night? Could you leave a small window open enough for her to get through?

OldMotherTaLcY · 01/09/2007 00:48

...oooh...she's posh....take a look at my old moggy...he'd give her a hand down...paw down
