I have a cat named Piper too. He's been in scrapes, but not that one, as far as I have observed.

Hope the kitty is ok.
I suppose we should all be glad the headline didn't read

I don't have a very good feeling for how high 80 feet is. Like about 14 men high---that is high. I guess people who trim trees or the fire department (especially in a small town if that's what it was) wouldn't have something that goes up that high. Eight days without water seems pretty amazing to me. I'm surprised it could live that long. We've had cats up trees but thank goodness we could get at them on a ladder. They seem to do it only once. It's always a pretty hair raising experience. I should just concentrate on the fact that the cat is okay. I'm feeling a little shaky this morning so I'm easily spooked.

I'm impressed that the cameraman had the presence of mind to zoom out as it started to fall...

See, what I don't get is that /a certain somebody\ is afraid of squirrels. That seems logical enough. But by consequence, a fear of squirrels should lead to a fear of cats since although squirrels are evil little creatures with wickedness of their own, cats have the power to destroy and eat them. If cats can do that to squirrels, imagine what they could do to a human.

Meow.

Are you saying that the cat survived the eight days by eating squirrels? It seems like it would have had a hard time catching them up there in the branches.

And once it hid beneath the car, it utter a barely audible "... Fecking MEOW!!!"

I thought it was a bit optimistic feathering its tail like a helicopter on the way down... kind of like "If I autorotate the tail I'll be fine... I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it! I can fl.....ukinmeowl!"

Somehow this cat has mastered what the tree-cat should have....

Flight.

You know, a'course, some cats can fly, others can't.
It's the cat's whots makes them witches brooms fly, y'know.
You didn't think them witches could fly on their own now, did you?

the Kat from Krypton! Oi!

Oh, Oh! Here's a shot of that cat falling out of the tree from the skydiver-cam he took up with him. This cat didn't get stuck; He's a BASE jumper!!!

Cats can fly, but some are also afraid of heights. Such is a cat's life.
