I live in Adelaide,South Australia and a neighbours cat got chased by a dog and it bolted up a Palm Tree which was well over 50 feet high.
Everyone had to use binoculars to see it and after a few days it was never going to venture down of its own accord, The animal rescue services were called and they had to hire a huge industrial construction crane to get high enough for the rescue.
Somebody informed the press and the whole thing made front page news and was featured in a local current affairs television program.
The cats owners were very embarrassed by all this, But of course were so grateful that puss was safely back home again. He is now restricted to an indoor life.
Ray Stevens had a song about being part of a rescue squad that tries to get a cat out of a drainage ditch only to be attacked and end up in the cesspool with the still angry cat.

For just a wee moment I was hoping her “kitty” was a Bengal Tiger? Judging by how Broomie Luv now looks,I’m not to sure I wasn’t right?

One “ZAP!” should have done the job.

Kind of like trying to get my two-year-old granddaughter out of the bath.

You know, you just never see cat skeletons in trees. Given enough time they do figure out how to get down again on their own.

House cats are 1/2 step removed from their feral counterparts

An officer in the film “Police Academy” had an interesting way to get a cat down from a tree…
