Cat stuck up a tree 😞

[xsquared]

Cat was chased by opposite neighbour's dog in out front garden and asI opened the door to let her in, she suddenly daryed in the
opposite direction and up a tree.

What do I do? She's quite high up and although neighbours dog has been taken inside, I don't know whether dell come down anytime.soon. 😞

How long has she been up there? She’ll most likely come down of her own accord, when she’s sure the dog has gone. Depending on how long, you could try and tempt her down with some treats but I’d give her a couple of hours

She's down now. Tha ks for responding.

At the time of this post, she'd been up for about half an hour or so.

She didn't look in distress to be honest, and was reluctant to get down as she had a good view of the field where lots of dog walkers use!

However, when she did tried to get down, she struggled to bring the rest of her body onto the next branch, so went back up.

In the end, dh climbed the tree and grabbed her.

She is now having her dinner.

It's difficult for young cats to come down from trees because their claws 'point the wrong way'! When they're older, they figure out how to mix jumping with a bit of clinging and they usually jump from quite a height. It's impressive how competent they are at landing safely!

Glad she is safe!😺

I have found shaking the dreamies packet is helpful in reminding my cat exactly how he

climbed a tree

got over the seven foot fence

found himself on next doors extension roof

and what he needs to do to reverse engineer his predicament.
