Big Big Cat Problem

I once posted about cats stuck up trees .....

Dead Cats Up Trees Are Rare

Cat's Skeleton Up A Tree

What happens when  a cat is spotted up a tree?

Cats In Tree Are Not Stuck!

Well usually there is an assumption that its stuck. Followed by a 999 call to the fire brigade who are then expected to 'rescue' the cat. This often involves a lot of spitting, bared teeth and scratches .... and that's just the fireman.

Now the fire brigade in the UK have said enough is enough ..... cats in trees will come down when humans go away. Last year alone in London they were called out to rescue a chimp in a chimney, a parrot trapped in its cage, an iguana stuck on a roof and a hamster trapped in a disabled lift. They want people to stop wasting their time and in what has to be quote of the week. The RSPCA (animal protection in UK) inspector Klare Kennett, said ....
