It has happened four times with my litter of four. They are seven months old and mostly outside cats now.
Each one, in turn, has climbed a tall tree, but without any apparent skill for climbing back down. After this experience, each one seems to have developed downward capability.
Yesterday, the most active kitten went AWOL mid-afternoon. Although he is neutered, the little guy is bound to hunt. I figured he would show up at evening feeding time. When I called for everyone to come inside the garage for the night, I could hear him yelling. He was way up a tree and seemed frightened. (I suppose I was the frightened one.)
It's the fourth time this has happened -- each kitten in turn. I sat beneath the tree for about an hour, urging him to come down. He never stopped yelling. Each kitten has had this same experience: I go inside for a moment and when I return, the cat is down. I wonder if he fell most of the way. I wonder if he has learned from the rite.
