Watch This in Case Your Cat Gets Stuck in a Tree 

Brilliant. The back idea. Im moving to the country. My beautiful girl of 19 years passed away on Christmas. Not quite yet- but in time i have a dream to get two more. They will have their own backyard. So i will get a backpack ahead of time. Struggling with a cat carrier on your arm with a heavy cat in it who is maybe also moving around too, whilst trying to climb backwards down- this is a recipe fir a fall ! But to put it on your back - i would never have thought of that. Thank you. (And if i get them as babies, i will out them in the backpack for little moments with treats on there then let them out, so they are familiar with the backpack and associate it with nice things. And i will never use the backpack to go to the vets- so thwy never associate it with that stressful situation. I will continue to use the cat carrier for the vet. Thank you so much. (I’ve spent many an hour begging cats to come off trees and roofs, lol. )

Tree Service !! TREE SERVICE !! I've dealt with this twice, with two different cats. The fire department refuses to come out. But a local tree service (Kramer Tree Service in West Chicago, IL) came out both times and rescued my cats who were too high up for ladder, so the guys climbed the trees, and placed the cats in those over the shoulder sling carriers that paperboys use to carry newspapers. Extremely grateful to Kramer. 😁

In the UK, we phone the Fire Service to come out, because they have very long ladders. Also because the firemen ain’t too hard on the eyes. 😉

I had a cat who frequently liked to sneak out and climb a tree in the backyard. It wasn’t a terrifying situation for either of us as it wasn’t too high up and it was easy for me to climb. I was quite a tree climber in childhood so I was able to climb up and get her , and carry her down with no carrier at all. I’m learning so much from your videos. Thank you!

You're a hero 🎉 Excellent job rescuing the kitty 🎉 👏👏👏

I notice that you didn't mention the Fire Department. Maybe this is an idea from old movies?

Thank you for this video. 😊

The Cat backpack, idea sounds really good as long as you feel safe climbing the ladder. It seems like it would be good to have one on hand either way, then at least someone who can balance safely on the ladder has a safe way to bring the pet down! Great Video!

Local fire department has long ladders. They rescued our cat a few years ago.

Very helpful suggestions! In many circumstances, the sudden environment change can disorient an indoor cat leading to them getting lost. Better to be proactive then to wait it out

Great info, thank you

Wow, great job👏 congratulations! That was very impressive 😮

Hope you're available to come out on call!

please look for video of police rescuting cat way up tree ..... him and his partner took a blanket , folded it , shook it a few times ,and called the cat while shaking blanket ....within 30 seconds the cat jumped from tree and they opened blanket .........cop acted like he did exactly same procedure dozen times .....simply amazing that cat jumped safely into the stretched blanket

It could traumatize them, Fluffy must have been traumatized and that's really scary and very sad and heartbreaking.

The other ideas you mentioned surely sounds like "from keyboard ideas", as you say they sound very unsafe and unpredictable. This method, when possible, seems the best. Just have to be very careful!

But thank you for saving Fluffy.

If they fall they have one less life to go they always land on their feet right?

They will come down, no need to risk yourself or call the FD.

He or she, him or her.
