Serious cat rescue...

So pleased that you got her down safe it is a good job you don't mind height's, what a climb for you but worth it though :-)

Good grief Lulu! You live such an exciting life, between a pole dancing kitty, swallows in the kitchen, newly born foals...never a dull moment! Poor Milliepuss! The photograph of her with the big frightened eyes and the wee outstretched paw is absolutely fantastic! And all from 25ft up a tree! You are a real wonder woman! And your garden looks magnificent from up there too! Phew!! I'm exhausted just reading your blog, I don't know what you're like, well, probably quite sore after all that clambering around trees! Well done you, and hubby for getting her down...I'm away for a lie down!

LOL! A few glasses of wine later and it's really time for bed! It's quite a remarkable life really! x

Sorry but I had to giggle - poor cat she must have been very stressed, but a good outcome.
When one of mine was a kitten she got stuck up my big conifer, I knew she was stuck when she had a wee up there - husband to the rescue with the plan to hold her clear of the tree and drop her into a sheet that I and the children were holding beneath. OH got her and tried to throw her to us, but she decided to cling to his bear arm she slowly slipped down it as he shook it whilst holding on to the tree with the other - nice scratch marks dripping with blood. Kitty was save and I just laughed at the OH who insisted he would never rescue another cat.

Remarkable indeed! Milliepuss had better kerb her climbing habits, she'll not have too many lives left!!

You get top marks Lulu....climbing up a 20' ladder and then climbing another 10' into the tree....gold medals to you and your OH for a successful rescue!

I don't know how you had the presence of mind to even get photographs...lol...but I'm glad you did. Milliepuss looks so trusting up there in the branches and the bird's eye view of your garden is certainly lovely.

You do have an exciting life, Lulu :)

had to laugh sorry,how did she do it and why,the only exiting thing mine have done is ophelia got trapped inside a bird house(she,s a bit podgy)had to break it to get her out,loved the pics and your a hero

very well done there - :):):):)

haha..what an adventure..Lulu Cat Rescue Inc..

Like Libet just love that picture of the gritter just about to disembark to the sheepskin..

wonderful little story and insight into the day of Lulu..excellent well done and thanks for sharing..

ps..isnt the pole a little too close to the tree..do you not have issues with your broadband falling out on windy days?

Thanks for all your comments folks, glad we got her down as it's windy and rainy here today.
Kfunters, had to giggle at your story too! That's exactly why I didn't grab her.....I just knew she would cling on and rip me to shreds!!
We don't know why she climbed up there, something obviously gave her a fright and I only took a birds eye pic because I had to wait for David to find various things to try and catch the critter safely!

Poor Milliepuss. I quite liked that photo of the poor cat with scared eye and her paw outstretched.

I am glad that she is alright.

Oh, you're a brave pair to have performed such a rescue. I couldn't have even got up the ladder, let alone into the branches! Considering David calls her 'Devil cat' I think he showed amazing kindness to have helped in her rescue. I'm sure she appreciated it . . .

She followed me this morning on our dog walk, miowing and trying to trip me up!

Trying to say thanks, Lulu, in her own way ... lol!

now why did the fire brigade not come out and rescue her, you could have fallen out of that tree Lou, glad she is safe but in future be more careful please,

Marvellous blog, very entertaining.
Hope today has been less eventful for all of you, Lulu.

What we humans do for our pets, Lulu !

Absolutely brilliant blog Lulu ! The pic of Millie on that pole is just wonderful...and thank you for the story,...a bit of tension, a bit of humour and a happy ending !

Thought you may have something to say about climbing that tree Val!! So did my Dad! I was very, very careful! It was going to take till the next day for the RSPCA to turn up and investigate before the firebrigade can even come out.....so we did the rescue ourselves!
Yesterday was certainly less eventful!

Oh dear ! lol sorry for laughing :D It seems so funny but can't have been so for you at the time.
I'm glad the saga had a happy ending :o)

What can I say, much more exciting than anything I've seen on TV recently. Well done you and OH - I don't think I could have climbed up there - the fire brigade would have had to rescue me! Glad all ended well :)

crazy day Lulu eh? LOL !! defo one to remember & great arial shot of your patch.

She had better never do it again!! I haven't climbed a tree for years, quite nice to stretch my limbs!!

Lol, well Luli, I liked the way in all the excitement right at the top of the ladder the camera came out. I get the feeling Millie read my Daffy blog and wanted a bit of the limelight : )
Love the shot of the cottage from up high

Ha, I did feel a bit guilty getting the camera out...but I was waiting for David to fetch some cat recuing items! Wish I had taken a few more now...but I only had one hand free and felt I should really be concentrating!

Lol! I know it probably wasn't funny at the time but a very entertaining read! Glad Millie is safe and sound to go on another adventure, another day! :-)

Naughty naughty Millipuss! Haha I can just picture it though, hope you hadn't had a glass of wine first! xxxx

Glad to say I hadn't Prawn!! Also happy that the wind wasn't to crazy that day! Sillypuss, now known as Millie the unsuccessful Polecat!

O! my word Lulu just read your blog on Milliepuss Serious cat rescue, what a silly pussycat I wonder why she went up there. Chasing a bird of something I suppose, you were so brave I hate heights but I suppose all the fear goes out the window when rescuing a loved one. Thank goodness you got her down with out any one getting hurt, a pat on the back for you! :^)

Luckily I don't mind heights, I just mind that I am getting older and am not quite so supple. If she does it again (with my sore shoulder) she may get a hosepipe instead of me!!

Not for one Minute do I believe that Lulu!

But what do ya do with a mankey shoulder and a cat up a telegraph pole!!
But amazingly so, having being wrongly diagnosed with a frozen shoulder it's now completely better (I did 8 hours heavy gardening today!!) The cat is now safe!

Lmao! Sorry but the pic of Millie there is tooo funny!
Cant stop laughing!
Poor you tho lol

Hahahaha, she certainly is a cat with attitude!
It was fun to clime a tree after all these years! Glad you found the bog!
Blimey, you might think I'm on GoY all the time, it's just a quiet night......I am going to blog my garden, tonight if I have the energy, or tomorrow, what with work having been cancelled till Friday! Even though I SHOULD be in my studio or garden! (being watched closely by Milliepuss) Actually and rather sadly, Millie would love to come into the house but the puppy bates her and my husband doesn't really like cats. And her best pleasure would be to have a catflap into my studio but because there are tiny shards of glass everywhere, i just can't risk taking a 'Devil cat' to the vet!!
