Shortie Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I have been lucky in that Smokey was not much of a tree climber when we had her but I always remember a cat we had as a family pet when I was a child, she was fond of climbing trees and it was the reason her first owner gave her up because she used to climb a tree and being the owner was older, it was too much for her to handle. I remember once incident we had with Nala when she got herself so high up in a tree near where we lived, she couldn't get back down and my dad had to use a ladder and climb up to get her. I always remember my dad shouting to my mum "catch" and dropping her to my mum, claws came out and my mum's arm got scratched pretty badly. The tree was finally cut down and it never happened again. Have you had a cat or do you have a cat that likes to climb trees? Have you had any issues with them climbing trees? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice climbed a tree and got stuck in the tree. Thankfully she was not high up and my daughter was able to climb up and get her down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 My friends don't let their cats out, so the only thing they climb is those towers that can be set up for them to rest on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't let our cats out either, Alice snuck out of the window LOL. That was the only time she got out since being domesticated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 His cats do love the window sill, I can see a weak screen being an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I agree, thankfully our girls do not test the strength of our window screens because we are on the 6th floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No risk of feral cats walking by and trying to show off or coax them out lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best way to stop this from happening. My mother had to call in an emergency one time when her cat climbed up a tree so high it refused to come down on her own. It was a big scare for her that very day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably cry my eyes out if one of our girls got stuck high in a tree and refused to come down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I don't let my cats outside, well Mochi goes outside in a harness but he's not allowed to roam outside because I'm afraid he'll get hurt or hurt another animal. So I never had any of my cats get stuck in a tree. We did have a outdoor cat once named Ashes, but he never climbed trees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Alice And Missy would both be cowering in the cornet lol. They would absoulty hate being in a harness and outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took him a little bit to get used to the harness. My wife and I haven't tried walking around the backyard, but our backyard doesn't have a fence so I'm a bit weary about doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of stray animals? If so I sure wouldn't take any chances. We don't even have a yard here we live in a highrise so there wouldn't be anywhere to walk Alice or Missy if we even wanted to try a harness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't give it some kind of really good food to get it to come down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
