Harvey is stuck up a 60 foot tree!!!!!!

Harvey one of our 2 year olds was late coming home last night and at 11.00pm on a wander round heard yowling so off we go and start a search - coldest night of the winter so far but moon is clear and we find on entering the woods that our boy is stuck up a huge tree.

Despite our best efforts and platform building last night he didn't come down.

Today Robin has been building jump points and we have a tower up about 30 foot up from the ground and various shelves wetc balanced and tied/nailed on but he won't come down. The tree is about 80 feet high and we are fast running our of solutions - he also has food about 50 foot up to but how do we get him down?

All answers and help appreciated as we are at a loss as what to do next except lumberjack/ garden tree people and see if they can help as we can't go much higher withour professional help as the tree has a lot of dodgy branches and probably need a professional at this point.

Failing that off to buy a chain saw in the morning!!!!!!

call out the fire brigade although they won't treat it as an emergency they will come out.

Good luck....little devil

Hi Liz, I think that is about one of a catlover's worst nightmares

I'm surprised he isn't tempted down by the food you have left though, he must be really scared, poor boy.

I think the only alternative of getting him down would be to give the fire brigade a call.....they are expert cat rescuers...

Please keep us informed of the outcome ......good luck!

Good grief! No suggestions for you, just good wishes and hope that he comes down soon. x

Don't worry you never see a dead cat up a tree, he will come down eventually but I would still call out the fire brigade

Hope you manage to get him down soon...

I think the fire brigade is your best bet. Good luck and let us know how you get on!

Is Harvey still stuck in the tree this morning Liz ?

Very distressing. Years ago, in the UK, I phoned the fire brigade and they wouldn't come. They told me that ALL cats can get down by themselves and will do so when they get hungry enough. She did, after a couple of days.
