My first Cat rescue

[allmark]

Here is my first cat rescue. The cat was there since last thursday. Sat. It was high winds and hard rain w/ storm damage. Its a wonder it didnt come down sooner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rhKNiLMdA8

That was sweet, bro.

Cool vid. Keep em coming.

What's the going rate for a cat rescue?

 

[jimmyq]

cool beans!

 

[Colin]

Sure was a challenge to shove it in the bag.... cool

 

[SirTreeRat]

Very nice

Was that poison ivy around the tree?

 

[allmark]

No Charge...yep Poison Ivy

I have done 2 arial cat rescues! One time I hit a 40' throw line shot about 1' away from the cat.

Installed my line next to the cat. When I got close, it tried to climb up further. I had to grab it by the scruff of the neck and stuff it in a back pack. I then lowered it down to the owner. Fun stuff!

Both of my customers insisted on giving me money even though I said I'd do it for free. I took the money and got lunch!

Here's a tip. Stuff the cat in the bag rear-end first. Cats don't like to see what's coming.

How much $ to risk a bloodletting? It looked like you were climbing through some poison ivy on the trunk.

I notice one part where you were stuffing the cat in the bag, then the tape cut for a second...what did you edit out???

Nice work. I'm suprised the cat just sat there and waited for you. He musta been hungry!

Okay all ye climbers of the world,just whom among all has ever found the bones of a cat in a tree?Fess up now.

I've been up hundreds of power poles but to tell the truth never found a tabby in a one of them.I have found a few fried hawks and owls though but that's a different subject.

I'll just bet if ole puss and boots can go up,the little rascal can come down,by golly.

 

[allmark]

I just edited the time it took to close the top of the bag.

I was just lookin for vids I haven't seen before. Must have missed this one. Funny when the darn cat won't go in the bag! Reminds me of Happy Gilmore when Adam Sandler kept yellin at the ball to get in it's hole. "Get in your home ball! You too good for your home?" Funny stuff! Good thing it didn't fall right in front of the owners!
