"An orange tabby stuck in a tree for five days was rescued Wednesday at Loomis Park in Jackson — and celebrated its rescue by bolting up another tree.
Adam Brooker, a maintenance worker at Loomis Park, noticed the cat climb a 60-foot-tall tree at the park Friday. It had been hiding near a trash container behind the Charles A. Boos Recreation Center.
“It hit off (the Dumpster) and went right up the tree,” Brooker said.
Figuring the tabby would find its own way down the tree, Brooker let it be. He noticed the cat in the same tree Tuesday and reported it to Tom Steiger, the superintendent of Cemetery and Forestry for Jackson.
It took about an hour for Smith to coax the cat toward the bucket with food before Smith was able to nab the feline about 11 a.m. The cat struggled and attempted to flee the bucket as Smith headed for the ground. He held the cat in the bucket most of the way before it managed to escape and head for the nearest tree.
The orange tabby wasted no time in scurrying up a short distance. Steiger said later Wednesday afternoon the cat remained in the second tree."
Crispies would LOVE to climb trees....but I doubt they would actually get stuck. I've never actually seen a cat get stuck...they just climb down!
The cats are 'stuck' because some human would very much like them to come down out of the tree but the darn feline refuses to do so.
