Well that's one you don't hear everyday. Any truth to the rumor that the cat went up to try and coax it's owner down???

No Pictures?

No Pictures?

Maybe the cat was camera shy

Maybe the cat was camera shy

Or maybe the cat was so eager to save his owner, that he didn't have time to grab a camera???

Luckily this incident ended sucessfully with cat and owner back on the ground. this had the makings of a real catastrophe. They could have used Mutual Aid for the Somers CRT (Cat Rescue Team, Captain Mike Cyrulik)

Most times the cat is smarter then it's owner. So my guess is that when photographers showed up, the cat ran away to keep some dignity after trying to save it's owner....

But we're all forgetting that it was the dog who called 911!

But isn't it true you don't see people stuck in trees all over the place.

When they get hungry, they'll climb down.

Why put someone else in danger trying to save them?

Yes Mike, you are correct but there is another option.....Just call Tackleberry!

this is almost as bad as our "water problem" call the other day, it was a leaky faucet
