Kitten stuck up tree

[Mellotron]

About 25-30 ft up. Not confident. Tried food etc but nothing doing the trick. Would rather avoid wasting fire fighters time/charges if possible.

What you need is a Ladder.

I thought this was going to a link to a front page Argus headline

Any fireman will tell you that there has NEVER been an instance of a cat's skeleton being found up a tree.

Three seconds of high-pressure water hosing will do the trick.

I believe this was the film where the coloured gentleman makes all the funny noises.

It isn't rocket science.

Place a ball of wool at base of tree , nip indoors peel some spuds , pop back out and ile guarantee ish when you come back the kitten will be gone and you may even have a poorly knitted hat for your troubles left near the tree for you .

I'd go with that option as it seems to work here.

Some sort of jet pack?

Send up a dog.

I would definitely be looking to leave the cat to it, at least while you can see him/her. If you lose sight, then I'd be wanting to step in. Kitten needs to learn.

But keep an eye on them. It's horrible when they wander off...

It's way too high/awkward for a ladder other than a fire engine's ladder. Hence the thread.

There is a certain cat lover on NSC that is going to lose it when he sees that.

cats will normally find their own way down
kittens are a different matter, it may have to be a ladder or the boys with the yellow helmets
but if you decide to go it alone you may have to be a little brutal but better the kitten had a damaged ego than fall
be prepared to be scratched using gloves does not give you a good grip
best of luck

Leave it there. If it is stupid enough to get up there, it is certainly stupid enough to get back down.

 

[Trevor]

Yes, when one of my cats got stuck up a tree I ended up googling it. Leave it for up to 24 hours unless it appears injured - if you go up there is a danger one of you may fall - it'll get itself down and learn a life lesson

Throw stuff at it
