THANK YOU FOR READING AND PLEASE PASS ALONG TO ANYONE YOU KNOW MAY HELP!!!! "



I figured I would go see if I could help out. When I got there the utilities workers were already up the pole with their fiberglass polls trying to get the cat to jump down :( .I always have a few nets in my truck (not for geese ) and I asked them if they wanted to use my nets...... the high 5 at the end was pretty neat...

That's pretty cool. Was the kitty OK after all that?

Yeah I think so..

AAWWWW I'm so glad someone finally went to save the kitty!!! Poor thing must have been terrified! And I can't imagine how it's human mommy felt. Knowing her poor kitty had been up there for 4 days without food/water/shelter. Thank goodness they got the kitty down safely.

I am so nervous to let my two kitties be indoor/outdoor kitties for this reason (and many more reasons). So they stay INSIDE...although they are always trying to sneak out under my feet.

Thanks for sharing this story! I love happy endings.

Thank you, Catman! Amazing story. It's incredible how very comfortable and relaxed those guys look, leaning back on their harnesses ... I'm glad your not-for-geese net came in handy.

Yay! That kitty looks like our chubby boy Blip. Glad everything worked out...thanks for helping her out, Scott!

So glad they got that poor cat down.

That is awesome. I cried when I saw her get down. That's great when people can come together and bring a happy ending.

Awwwww that almost made me cry! Poor kitty. I am so glad they were able to get her down with your net! I hope she is OK.

Thanks for sharing!
