some_beer_drinker: simplicimus: Put some cat food near the tree. It'll come down eventually. I've never seen a cat skeleton in a tree.

that's because owls, assface.

owls are the greatest threat our kitties face in the great outdoors. if you see an owl in your neighborhood, kill it now, before it eats another kitty. they are remorseless flying killing machines that will not stop, or cannot be bargained with. they absolutely will not stop until they have eaten your kitty, and your jack russels. shot them on sight, burn down the pine trees they live in, and make our world a safer place for all kitties.

thank you.


Owls kill vermin. If they kill your cat too, well you should have kept your cat inside.

Just another in a long list of reasons to keep your cat in the house.

I'm not going to call anyone. If the stupid cat can't get itself down it deserves to die up there.

I haven't seen a cat skeleton in a tree but I have seen a dead cat stuck in between two tree branches. It wasn't wounded - it just got stuck and died.

They are not necessarily too stupid to get down - just too scared.

All domestic cats running loose outdoors should be shot. They are a scourge on the bird population. They're an introduced species and as such have no protection status. Further more all cat people should be closely watched for catness behavior.

This. What makes you think your precious mewing over breeding feline has more of a right to live than the owl? Guess what if your cat gets snatched up it is your fault not the owl's and there are 100 more cats sitting in your local animal shelter. Owls are being encroached upon my man not the other way around.

for the DNRTFA crew, the cat was in the tree seven days. If kitty doesn't get down after a week, kitty aint coming down by herself

tungub: He's right about owls. And yes, owls live in Houston; jesus, you're not that stupid, are you?

I've had a few cats taken by owls, one right in front of me. It's life, I don't hold it against the owl.


Stupid, not so much. Just haven't had any signs of owls being around. Never lost a cat due to owls in the 15 years I've been here.
