So happy your cat's tree climbing experience had a happy ending.
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!"

Isn't that the truth- after getting everyone in the neighborhood worked up! Seriously, I hardly ever saw a neighbor before this but I certainly got to meet them this week.
Thank you for your interest in the plight of my little blue eye kitty.
After all this, you'll have to show us a picture of him. Not in the tree, of course.

Will do.
You know, he's not as interested in the great outdoors as he use to be- six freezing nights on the highest branch of the tallest tree in the neighborhood tends have that affect on a kitty. Somehow I don't thing we're going to have any more trouble from him.
Oh, you will. He is, after all, a kitten. But not this kind of trouble!

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!!

Oh damn, ignore me. I just saw that he's okay now. So glad!
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.

I am disgusted with the fire department. I live in a very small town so thankfully the fire department is rarely called to put out a fire.That combined with the fact that kitten was up there for six nights should have given them a reason to drop their strict policies of not rescuing cats from a tree. And animal control? Trying to find the fast food restaurant he's shacked up in at the moment you need him is always a challenge. We got some real winners in my town.

That is what worried me the most,
catsknowme
, the dehydration- way more than the lack of food. I am glad that he is a young cat and not an older one with health issues. I hope this thread not only educates people, but comforts them as well. I know it comforted me. 
Is that the same little flame point I knew about? They tend to think they can own the world and mostly, they do, just not this time! Blue eyed beauty!! How is he now? Did he gobble food and water at first or did it take time to calm him enough to eat? I was so delighted at how others there responded. The world can be a very caring place when you locate those who have compassion. This was a very good bonding experience for you with those humans. I am hoping that will change a few things in the future there. A support system. Maybe you could do a few cat greeting cards to hand out with pictures of the ferals to those who showed concern. Ask for helpers? Could lead to something!!

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.

Thank you,
Thank you,

. Yes the little jerk came down on his own with his cheeks so red. It was a combination of thirst, hunger, and the fact that an arctic blast was coming our way that did it. An open can of tuna does it every time.
