great news - typical of cats they like to do things in their own time ! x
I just heaved a HUGE sigh of relief! Little rascal. Give him a boop on the nose for me, and tell him, "NO MORE TREES!"
Oh damn, ignore me. I just saw that he's okay now. So glad!Oh my god, how scary! I'm so sorry you and your little guy are going through that. What about animal control? I'd think that might be something they'd handle. Obviously they're more involved in helping wild animals and strays, but doesn't hurt to ask. I can't believe the fire department wouldn't help!!

How is your little Viking now? He probably had dehydration as well as malnutrition. Since his "adventure" is far too common, there will be many others looking at this thread who will benefit from knowing what after care you tried & what the results were.
Call the fire dept they will get him out just read he came down, that is great, I hope he is okI never thought I would be writing this post.
One of my cats, a ten month old male kitten got out of my house four days ago and got stuck in one of my trees. Yesterday, a neighbor of mine came by with a thirty foot ladder to try to rescue him. Unfortunately that very kind and caring act only made the kitty go up higher. He is now on the very top branch. This will be his 5th night up there. I have tried coaching him with pouring food into a dish, shaking a food bag and popping off the lids of cans that contain wet food. Nothing has worked and he is meowing his little head off. It has been in the teens at night here.
How long can a cat survive in a tree? I was always been told that if they get hungry or thirsty enough they will come down. I am questioning that philosophy now.
Please, if anyone has any suggestions, I would sure love to hear them.
Thank you
Oh good. So glad he's safe.Not silly at all- who knows what will work in a situation like this? I am ready to try anything. Fortunately little baby came down on his own early this morning. But I was actually wishing that his mother cat was with me so she could actually coax him down, maybe even go up the tree and get him, I have seen one do that when her kitten was caught up on a slide. Thank you, Cherrybug for your thoughtful suggestion, much appreciated.
Oh good. So glad he's safe.
