What affects us affects cats
I am going to challenge the general consensus constantly repeated on the internet in hundreds of thousands of articles that domestic cats can get stuck up trees because they don’t have the ability to get down. Does that sound strange to you? How did nature over millions of years of Darwinian evolution fail so …
See some interesting links to cats falling at the end of the article. The interesting aspect of this rescue is that the cat was not very high up unless the man had climbed a good distance up the tree which I don’t think happened. This indicates to me that this is a timid cat …
Two initial points come to mind in answering the question in the title. Perhaps, sometimes, can owners think that their cat is stuck up a tree because they become panicky and understandably so. But perhaps their cat is not stuck 😊. Perhaps they are just taking their time to come down. I deal with …
What I love about this video is the care, professionalism and attention to detail exercised by the Tulsa Fire Department. I bet they just turned up without a complaint and got the guy down really nicely and safely because I’m sure he was frightened, and then they went home, job done. I also feel …
This is a novel way to ‘rescue’ a cat stuck up a tree. They must have run out of ideas because the video clearly shows the tree surgeon cutting off the branch on which the cat is perched. She falls a long way to the ground. About 50 feet I’d guess. As the cat …

I have never read, either on the internet or in a book, about a species of wild cat being stuck up a tree. It doesn’t happen in my opinion because any wild cat species is more in tune with nature. They’ve evolved to be great climbers and evolution is precise. Nature would not have …
AP Scaffolding Services built a 50 foot scaffolding tower next to a tree in which a tortoiseshell cat had been stuck for about three days. It’s the first time I’ve seen this method of rescuing a cat from a tree. It looks awesome. Apparently it was a team effort. The local fire service tried …
