		<description>You know, at 60 feet I would think the cat couldn't really make enough noise to keep anyone awake at night,,,, unless the tree was next to a three or four story apartment complex.

The article also doesn't really say how this arborist actually got the cat down. Did they use a chainsaw? I would think that taking down the tree would pit the tree hugger's against the kitty lovers.

My ex girlfriend had a cat that liked to climb a big tree in her yard. The only thing I ever saw at the base of her tree was dead robins, smashed robin eggs and maybe a wing or two of another unidentifiable species.

My girlfriend never really cared about the poor birds or their unhatched young. In fact she always smiled and said her cat was such a good hunter.

One day new neighbors moved in. Her cat tried hunting their Neapolitan Mastiff. Well the cat wasn't actually hunting it, she was teasing it from the top of a wooden fence. My girlfriend thought that was cute too.

She pointed it out to me one day and with a big smile said look at my cat, "she's driving that big old goofy looking dog crazy by walking the top of the fence like a tight rope!"

I have to admit, I never knew a cat could strut along the top of the fence like a circus performer. She'd look down at the dog every couple of steps and let out a big, "MEOWWWW"

I learned something else that day, as did my girlfriend and her prize cat. Big, old looking, goofy Neapolitan Mastiffs, have some really incredible athletic abilities of their own,,, and speed, damn them dogs can move when they want to.

Although I do wish my girlfriend wasn't watching that day when we all learned something about that breed of dog. Even though the demonstration only lasted about one nanosecond, it changed my girlfriend for life. 

She was so distraught over the cat receiving the same treatment as the birds have always received, that I couldn't stand to listen to her cry anymore. So had to dump her.

I was afraid I would feel a little lonely if I dumped her, so just to cover that base, I purchased two Neapolitan Mastiffs from the same breeder as her neighbor's dog came from.

I lost a girlfriend but gained two dogs,,,,,, and it was the best trade off I've ever made!</description>

		<description>I love cats too, but I can see what NC is saying and understand.  Seriousy, cats are capable of getting out of a tree. What goes up must come down and they are the best climbers.  Put some food under the tree and go back inside, the cat will come down.</description>

		<description>There are just some VERY SPECIAL people in the world.  The tree man wasn't concerned with anything other than helping out another person that was so distraught over their animal.

We watch Animal Planet and see people risking their lives to help animals all the time without a thought that their selfless act could cost them their own life.  That is AMAZING!

You deserve a big THANK YOU!  I know you will be rewarded many times over for your selfless acts in life.</description>

		<description>I work for a tree company and we get about 2 calls a month for this issue.  We are small - 6 employees and even at that our fuel runs about 4 grand a month.  We simply can't afford to run our trucks and men out to every "CAT IN TREE" call.  We have never been offered compensation for it either.  People really get mad at us for not doing it.  I'm sure it's the same with the firemen.  Suppose they were getting a cat out of tree while your loved one was having a heart attack or your house was on fire.  Think of the liability.  Glad to hear that someone was able to help - but please don't bash firemen and tree companies if you find yourself in this situation.</description>

		<description>To Mopargurl and bill. I feel sorry for people like you. To be so cold to any living thing tells me you must have or had a very unhappy life. People like you are just felt sorry for (pitiful isn't it). Domestic animals are totally dependent on us humans. To help out in any situation big or small says alot about a person. Just as your responses have said alot about you both. You sound like a couple of bullies. Yeah, real proud of yourselves huh? whoopy  do, I would have to think I'm not missing much not knowing either of you. Just know this:  It takes a bigger person to go out of their way to help someone or something. Guess your not grown up yet.  MAJOR KUDOS TO THE TREE TRIMMER !!!</description>

		<description>I think it is great to hear a positive outcome where neighbors are helping neighbors.  We all have to live with each other and showing compassion for someone else’s values is what helps keep our community together.</description>
