It may have been a excruciating experience for human and hombre alike , but thatdidget the fire section to get along out with their long ravel to call up the pair . Firefighters get the man safely back to the ground and stuck around to call back Flock , too .

If you ’re wonder if there ’s a safe way to get your cat down from a tree — without call for rescue yourself — there are some things to deliberate if you find yourself in a situation like Flock :

If you have a tough ravel and the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree is n’t too gamy — few than 20 feet , Sears says — you could climb up the tree and attempt to deliver the stuck cat yourself . Just check that there are n’t any nearby power bloodline and ensure the help of a friend or neighbour who can help keep the ladder inflexible for you .

Another selection Sears recommends : Tie a rope to a rock or ball to the end of a rope and throw the formal over a branch near your cat . Then fasten the rophy to yourcat carrierand hoist it on up there . If your kitty is comfortable with her crate , she may climb into the carrier and you’re able to safely , slowly lour her down . Just be extra careful where you ’re flip the circle , since you do n’t want to incidentally harm your feline friend .
