Earlier this month, my cat, Jenny, got stuck up a tree. She slipped outside when I opened the back door. At first, my mom and I thought this would be fine. We were there to watch them and Jenny and Cannoli really do love running around outside.
We were only outside for a few minutes, before Jenny took off running. She really is fast. She ran straight for a tree at the side of the house. Before I knew it, she had scaled the trunk and was on a branch about ten feet up. As I looked up at her from the ground and she looked down at me, I could tell that she was stuck. She kept looking around frantically, searching for a way down. I called to her, but it was no good. She was too scared.
Eventually, my dad came outside to see what was going on. He left to get a ladder. As he rounded the corner of the house with it, the noise scared Jenny and she launched herself back on the trunk and climbed down. She ran back inside, looking terrified.
I’m just relieved that she got down safely. I was afraid she would hurt herself, jumping to the ground. I’m glad that Jenny was smart enough to find a way back down on her own.
