It's cold tonight.

It'll come down on its own.

damn that sucks. I would just get some warm clothes and wait it out. You know he/she will just stare at you if you try to jingle a toy.

Your cat will get hungry and come down.

Just hope he's not a dumb ass like my cat and manages to break his pelvic bone when jumping out of the tree

Why did you refer to your cat as an 'it'?

i gotta give the camera guy props

first he was like 'o shit!' then found it in midflight and held it there


ive never known how golf camera guys can keep track of the ball the way they do, there's gotta be some computer auto-finder involved

Golf is like cancer to me. If chemotherapy was all it took to get rid of golf, sign me up

Drinking and golf carts are great. They should do away with the golf part and make it drinking and riding around on a greenway. That's a sport I could get into.

My cat was stuck way up in a tree once. I decided what the hell and got a ladder out to try and coax her down. I got 1 foot on the ladder and she came right down. Maybe your kitty will be similar and think you've climbed 10 ft when you've only gone 2 inches. Worth a shot if you have a ladder.

I had a cat that chased a squirrel up into a tree once. Where all the branches came together at the trunk was the squirrel's nest.

My cat made it out onto one of the branches and when she tried to get down, the squirrel she was initially chasing would attack her because the squirrel had babies.

The cat didn't know what to do. She was in that tree for a week at least. At night, you could hear her crying throughout the neighborhood.

One night whilst stuck, there was a freezing rain and she fell out of the tree and appeared at our home the next day.

We figured that either:

a) she was so tired and weak from no food that she lost consciousness for a moment, or

b) that she got so hungry and cold she said fuck it and jumped from about 20 feet up, or

c) that the tree branch became icy enough that she slipped out.

Either way, she was fine and went on to live for 16 years as an outdoor cat. Best fucking cat ever.

The moral is that something will happen and your cat will make it down one way or another. If you let nature take its course, she's gonna want to come home and eat bad enough that she will come down.
