  • Fluffy got stuck pretty high up in a tree and would not come down. We used a cat backpack to attempt a rescue and it worked pretty well. You might want to try the same thing is you are in a similar situation.

    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. 😁

      @@moonpleiades99 They didn't charge to rescue the cats.... but we had used them three times before (at two different homes) to cut down huge dead/diseased trees and they are well worth the price. They are very reputable and professional company that has served DuPage County area for a looong time. And the guys who came to rescue the cats are a pet lovers.

    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. )

    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!

    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. 😉

    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!

    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

    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!
