Today, I spent a half hour trying to help my cat down after he got stuck in the tree on my lawn. I finally gave up and called a local tree care company to help. When I returned outside, I found my cat casually walking about by the door. The guy who showed up to help was not happy. FML

clearly you have watched to much curious George! The fire department. has better things to do. Its a cat leave it be! It got in the tree it can get down! Cats enjoy messing with humans! It saw you gp away got down and followed you?

It wasn't the fire department though but instead a local tree care company

Real life tip: cats aren't retarded. They can get down from things they climb up

Cats are the most natural climbers. So, that was just overreacting and ignorance. When they get hungry, they come down, come back, or emerge from wherever they are. We had a blined cat that was trained to follow voice and come down from the tree just listening when her name called. We have cat born with claws only on one paw, and he can climb, a bit, around. Cats, after they are 5-6 weeks old, can land on feets almost in all situatios. Some people think in all.

My cat does things like this all the time. She will happily jump onto the roof of the house and meow frantically until I come outside and try to coax her down. I give up after 10 minutes, go back inside and she will be inside 30 seconds after me :)

People underestimate cats. They rarely get "stuck" in trees. People just tend to overreact, and cats can be right a-holes for miaauw-ing incessantly while up there as if they need help. They don't.

If cats could not get out of trees by themselves, you would see a lot more news stories about people getting hit by random, falling cats.

It's a cat... they climb trees ffs. YDI for wasting peoples time.
