#NewJersey #Cat #Rescue
This dude made my day
Good deed, thank you kind sir
My cats a wild cat and would climb up 50-100ft trees and just climb down. Domestic cats forgot?
Don’t have a cat but heard that it’s because of how their nails are curved which digs in when going up but provides no grip going down unless they go down backwards.
Like a student driver, some cats have trouble using reverse. Going down a tree backwards seems to go against their instincts. Squirrels, on the other hand, have ‘wrists’ on their back legs which allow them to hang and even climb head-down. I’ve watched them use their superior climbing agility to taunt my cats.
Unfortunately, this guy is probably 1% of humans.
Haha..trust me ,cats can climb down trees😅
those poor trees.
Cats can climb trees and they can come down just fine. This guy is great, but owners are clueless.
And you are heartless and don’t know what your talking about.
What a cat saver!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did he really rescue a cat out of the tree? Did he? I’ve never seen a cat skeleton in a tree.😂
I once had an orange cat who climbed a tree without branches for the first 20 feet off the ground. He was stuck up there for three days, including through a rain storm. (Insert Reddit reference to orange cats sharing a single brain cell.) I ended up climbing the tree myself. When I reached the cat he was very grateful, purring loudly as he rode down on my shoulders like a fur collar with claws.😸
Glad he enjoys rescuing cats.
I grew up on a farm with 20 acres of woods…and lots of cats. The cats always managed to get down from the tree they climbed. Some times they would sit up there for hours and call. When they tired of that activity, they would climb down.
A TRUE HERO!
NJ is always being put down. I’ve lived in many states and will say that the people in nj always seem the nicest. Something as simple as holding the door at a Wawa. I can remember the first time in NM the person in front of me just let the door shut in my face. I was shocked. But here in jersey we still hold the door for the next person. Well you can tell this guy is from Jersey. Thank you sir from one cat lover to another!
… rescue the tree… not the cat…
Blessings to him and the cat’s ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
That’s really so sweet. Cats maybe able to come back down like people think, but if they are terrified and never been up there, they don’t think they can come back down and can sit there and die.
My kind of HERO❤❤❤❤❤
What a hero!
What a terrific guy!
😻
Thank you for being so very kind. God Bless you and yours. Stay safe.
Ignore all the “Cats can climb down” experts.
Oh kitty 🙀 😺
Too bad the owners didn’t/don’t love their cats enougj to keep them INSIDE!! HORRIBLE things happen to outside cats!! SOME worse than DEATH! Sometimes they get hurt and go off by themselves to die a long, painful death! Ig you love them, you protect them! God bless snd protect this man!
Thank you Thank you Thank you 👍🏻❤❤❤💞💞💞🔆🔆🔆
What a great man you are Steve saving the cats ❤️❤️
