Sounds like you have really been trying to get her out with lots of great thoughts. Unfortunately, sometimes cats can be more stubborn than we like. Have faith that if your cat was able to get herself up there, she can get herself down, shes just not ready to come down yet. Perhaps there is a nest up there or she comes down when you arent watching to get food and water. Have patience and she will come down soon I am sure. Sorry I dont have more advice for you, sometimes cats outsmart us all! Sam,

I have a cat who is up a fir tree, which has no limbs for about 25 ft. I triangliated the height my black ninja cat is at; about 54 ft. She has been up there for 6 days. Cat food and Tuna don't work. I have a 16ft ladder, but its not enough to even reach the first branch. The fire department won't come out, they only can get to about 25-30ft with thier ladder. Tree climbers won't do it unless I cover their medical liability...love my cat to death, but unlimited liability for a climber is too much to risk. The fire departement suggested 2 things. Spray the cat out of the tree with water, or cut the tree down. I can't reach it with water, and have not yet cut it down since its obviously a risk to the cat. My last option is to get a scissor lift, which is about $300 a day. Any options I am missing here? -Sam Well lets put your article to the test.

Still, one of my guys scales the tree, and lies in wait. He pretends he's invisible even when I can clearly see him. (Apparantly, he also doesn't understand that the ting-a-ling-a-ling of the jingle bell ornaments IS audible to humans). He does not get a treat when he comes out of the tree! :D The only trees our boys have access to is the Christmas tree (as we live in an urban area, they are 100% indoor cats!).
