Question cat in a tree

Has anyone ever had their cat up a tree before?

Go stand under the tree. Eventually he'll jump down on your head. Experience talking.

I got the tallest ladder that I could find and climbed up, but I am still about 4-5 ft away from him. He just meows and does not climb down. Can I assume that he will when he gets hungry enough???

Ours stayed up in a tree for four days. I finally succumbed and called the fire department. They got him down. I gave them a nice donation.

If you have a cat bed your cat likes to sleep in.. try that.. I had to climb a ladder and hold the bed up and my kitty jumped right into it..

He can't be very far up then. Want to borrow my climbing tree stand? And yes they come down. Have you ever seen a cat skeleton up in a tree?

Take an empty food can and tap it with a spoon like it's feeding time.

If that doesn't work, PM Gumby. His daughter is quite a good shot with a 20 guage. Don't tell Dixie though.

You could play the ampified sound of an electric can opener through outdoor speakers. That would get my cat to vacate the tree. Of course you may end up with a few animals that aren't yours. Also I think cats don't like snakes so if you got a big fat snake and flung it up the tree above the cat it would come down.
