Emergency phone call.

Bit of snow here this morning, so today's job postponed to Saturday. Chance to get stuck into that paperwork I've been putting off...until the phone went.

First time ever to get the callout for a cat up a tree!!

By the time we got there, we've only got a couple of hours of daylight. The tree is tucked away at the end of the garden, a biggish poplar smothered in ivy, with the first branch at about 30ft. Brilliant.

It didn't end well...

What...???

The cat survived!?

You killed the cat?

You cant tell us half a Story .......

Ste

air rifle! quickest way to get a cat out of a tree:thumbup:

Bigshot the cat straight out with the throwbag?

my experience of cat resue is you can't get near them, they just keep going up until they fall out, done two, both cats were ok, but can't be bothered with it now, they get up there they can get down.

You were just about to grab it but aliens came and abducted you and performed various intrusions on you? :thumbup::001_smile:

Bad light stopped play in the end.

It was such a faff getting into the bloody tree that I spooked the cat and it wouldn't come anywhere near me. I talked to Poppy nicely. I brought Poppy her favourite dinner. I offered to carry Poppy down the tree in a nice furry bag.

Nope...

All that ivy stopped me wielding anything to knock it out of the tree, even. She came for a look at me and mewped a bit when she smelt her dinner. The cat was not chuffed to be sharing the tree with anyone like me and was last seen disappearing upwards into the tangle.

Oh well, a fourth night up the tree for Poppy.

Take a shotgun tomorrow.that will get it!!
