Breaking News - Sadly cat stuck on top of a giant 20 foot cactus for three days
Edited on Sat Nov-12-11 07:36 PM by snagglepuss
has some sore paws after climbing down on its own accord but other than that it is safe and sound. A rescue had been deemed unsafe but happily the cat came back.

1. Poor cat. I'd've gotten a ladder out after the first day. Glad it survived.

4. It seems they may have been worried it might jump.

6. that would be a big concern. I wonder if they put food out for it, or worried it'd attract
other predators. Glad it survived.

11. I don't know if a cactus could have supported a ladder leaning on it. I was
thinking a basket on poles could have been held up so kitty could jump in the basket. Good to know that a cat can make it down from such a height.

9. No one knows. Some speculate it may have been chased up there by a coyote.
